The image displays various lines and shapes forming an abstract composition. On the left, intersecting lines create a geometric figure with a partially shaded body resembling a person reaching out, with flowing curves below. On the right, three upright human-like figures are against a grid backdrop, with overlaid diagonal lines crossing them out. The top left figure holds a block shape, reminiscent of classical sculptures or signage figures. The figures on the right suggest people in thought or repose, each topped with crown-like elements.

The sculpture is an abstract form resembling a closed wooden book or a large hinge. It is crafted from wood with a smooth texture and a natural brown finish. The sculpture's front face is a rectangular surface divided into smaller rectangular segments by thin lines, with a vertical hinge-like element on the left, highlighted by a contrasting material, possibly metal with a brass or gold tone. This composition gives the impression of functionality, like a door or book, but remains purely abstract and non-representational in its artistic presentation.

Fourteen Stations of the Cross

1966

The image consists of a series of linear and geometric shapes, including a square and intersecting lines, creating an abstract composition. At the top, three squares align horizontally, with the leftmost square shaded in, while below, a large angular form intersects with the contour of a human figure. The figure, drawn with minimal lines, leans forward as if carrying a large rectangular cross. The positioning recalls a person stooping down or caught in motion.
