This painting shows a simple square split in half. The top half is a flat, dark gray. The bottom half is a lighter gray with a faint, grainy texture. The edges are clean and straight, floating against a big stretch of blank white paper. The artist used just a few materials—charcoal, pencil, and ink—to create this. The texture in the lower half looks like it was made by rubbing or smudging. If you like this kind of minimal art, check out cross-hatching next.
