About this work

This picture shows two stacks of simple shapes. The shapes look like boxes or blocks, but they’re all just lines on a light gray background. Some lines overlap, making it hard to tell where one box ends and another begins. The artist used just lines and no color. The whole thing looks like a puzzle that doesn’t quite fit together. Look up Josef Albers next to see more of his work.
