This drawing has three black shapes stacked in a narrow box. The top shape is a triangle tilted to the side. The middle one is a smaller triangle on top of a half-circle. The bottom shape is a wide, curved shape with sharp edges. Thin lines cut across everything. The artist signed the bottom right corner with a quick scrawl. The year "79" is also there. This looks like a simple sketch, but the shapes feel alive. Check out Jiro Takamatsu next—he made this in 1979.
