About this work

This drawing shows three stacked rooms, each with bold colors and sharp shapes. The top room has a yellow wall with a circle, triangles, and a tiny red shape. The middle room is red with a white square and the word "SEKRETARIAT" on it. The bottom room is blue with a big circle and some black-and-white stripes. The sketch looks like a floor plan with color blocks instead of walls. The word "SEKRETARIAT" means "secretary’s office" in German. Check out gouache to see how this soft paint works.
