About this work

This drawing shows three big, blue, blocky shapes on a flat base. Two look like low, wide blocks, and one is tall and narrow, almost like a tower. They’re drawn in light blue with some handwritten notes and measurements around them, including angles and sizes. The lines are simple, but the shapes feel heavy and solid. The notes include exact dimensions and angles, written in ballpoint pen. This suggests the artist was planning something real—maybe a sculpture or a building. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
