This drawing shows two open book pages with rough, uneven lines of charcoal. The shapes look like jagged silhouettes—one on the left, one on the right—with smudged edges where the charcoal was rubbed. The paper is mostly white, and the red border around the edges stands out against the pale background. The lines feel raw and unfinished, like quick sketches left to dry. The artist used charcoal, which lets the marks stay soft and fuzzy instead of sharp. Want to see more work like this? Check out Richard Serra.
