This painting is all about bold black shapes on a light background. Curved lines twist and overlap, creating big empty spaces between them. In the center, a small square with a cross inside stands out—it’s the only straight, precise part. The artist used linoleum to carve these shapes, a method that lets ink fill the cut-out areas. The result is sharp, clean edges with no extra details. Next, check out Max Bill to see how he mixed art and design.
