About this work

This painting shows three tall, wavy black lines standing on a thick, uneven base. The lines lean slightly, with small dots near their tops. The background is plain white, making the black shapes stand out sharply. The artist made this using a printing method where ink is pressed onto a flat stone. It’s part of a big set of prints he did in 1973. Look up lithography to see how this technique works.
