This painting shows a simple shape: a perfect circle with a square inside it. The circle is drawn in light brown crayon, while the square is made of thin black lines. Inside the square, there’s a faint horizontal line near the bottom. The artist used just a few lines and colors to make something clean and quiet. The paper is plain, and the drawing looks like it was made carefully by hand. If you like this kind of simple, precise art, look up Robert Mangold.
