Graphic Sheet 7

Karel Malich

Associated Names

Karel Malich

Artist, Czech, born 1924

The image displays a series of fine diagonal lines crossing from the top left to the bottom right, intersected by a single bold vertical line. The fine lines create movement and texture, similar to tall grass or wooden planks. The contrast between thin and thick lines adds tension, much like hatching techniques in sketches. The background is muted, emphasizing the bold vertical line.
