The image shows a large, solid rectangle dominating the frame with a uniform, dark surface. This composition presents an abstract approach, prompting viewers to focus on its simplicity and color. The rectangle's presence conveys a sense of depth and can be interpreted as a boundary or transition through its deep blackness.

Romas Viesulas

1960

This is a drawing of handwritten text on paper. The drawing features sentences and phrases written in an elegant, flowing script, reminiscent of traditional calligraphy. The text appears to be a poem, with lyrical phrases and questions such as "is grass yellow today?" and emotive words like "sorrow," "breath," and "red." The layout of the text is staggered, with different lines separated by spacing. There is a signature or label at the bottom right of the page which reads, "Ramon Videmos" followed by the year '88'. The paper has a subtle off-white tone.
