Untitled (Portfolio of Five Lithographs)

Rolf Winnewisser

1986

The image shows overlapping geometric shapes and lines creating a dynamic composition. Thick and thin lines intersect vertically and horizontally, forming an abstract grid pattern. Circular shapes and curved lines hint at familiar objects like an umbrella or a fan. The dominant use of blue, red, and orange hues adds to the abstract quality, with areas of gray scribbles providing texture like crumpled paper.

The image features angular and rounded shapes in shades of deep blue, black, and white. There are patterns resembling maze-like paths or architectural blueprints. The elements form a series of overlapping windows or portals, suggesting depth and complexity. The patterns and shapes evoke the appearance of cityscapes or urban architecture, intersecting and weaving together in a blend of chaotic yet structured visuals.
