About this work

This sketch shows two rough drawings of a rectangular object with a circle inside it. Inside the circle are small shapes—like a cross, a plus sign, and a few dots. The lines around the object look messy, with quick strokes and numbers scribbled nearby. The drawings seem to be plans or notes, not finished art. The numbers might be measurements, and the scribbles could be ideas jotted down fast. Want to know more about how this artist used sketches like this? Check out Joseph Beuys.
