About this work

This drawing shows two overlapping rectangles made of thin black lines. One rectangle is tilted, and both are filled with light and dark gray shapes. The paper looks crumpled and layered, with some edges peeking through. The artist used simple shapes and stark contrasts to create depth. The lines and shading make the rectangles look three-dimensional, even though they’re just paper. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
