1960

The image displays abstract shapes and patterns within a central rectangular form with a thick black border. The top of the interior rectangle is filled with small circular shapes and textured lines. Below this, a darker band with circular forms creates contrast. Beneath the rectangle are layers of irregular shapes resembling geological formations or rough stone textures. — Window Series II

1960

The image features a composition of rectangular shapes layered within one another. A central rectangle contains an abstract pattern of rounded, stone-like forms. Above it, a textured gray area is present, while the stone shapes below it resemble a cobblestone path. Smaller square shapes lie below this section, resting on a flat, horizontal band. The forms might evoke a window view overlooking a courtyard or wall. The image is bordered by rectangles in muted tones, adding depth and structure to the abstract depiction. — Window Series III
