About this work

This painting shows just a few black lines on a light background. One thick vertical line sits on the left, with two thinner horizontal lines crossing it—one near the top, one near the bottom. The lines are uneven, like they were drawn quickly. The right side has a jagged edge where the ink seems to blur. The artist left a small signature in the corner, dated ’67. The simplicity makes you wonder what it’s *really* about—maybe the space between the lines matters more than the lines themselves. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see how this fits into their collection.
