About this work

This painting shows three thick black lines on a light background. Two lines run straight up and down, while one shorter line connects them in the middle, making a simple shape. The lines are uneven and wobbly, not perfectly straight. The artist used just ink and paper—no colors, no details. It looks like a sketch, but it’s the whole painting. The signature in the corner is small and simple. If you like this kind of bold, simple art, check out Philip Guston.
