The image features intersecting vertical and horizontal lines on a light, textured background. The composition resembles a loose grid or framework, similar to a skeletal outline of a windowpane or a fence. The lines create division and structure with an organic, hand-drawn appearance.

Sitings (SW)

Jill Baroff · 1998 · graphite on gampi paper mounted to Kozo paper ·  Accession ID  2000.41.1

Twelve people sit and stand along a sidewalk in this abstracted, horizontal scene, which is drawn with black felt-tip pen on white paper. The people’s facial features, including almond-shaped eyes, wide noses and mouths, and their blocky bodies are drawn simply with single lines and no shading. Clusters of intersecting vertical and horizontal lines suggest brick buildings in the background and a stoop facing the street. Five heads peer through windows from the buildings. In the center, a bald man sits on the stoop, leaning forward with his hands crossed over his knees, while a cat sits nearby. To our left, a couple stands by a streetlamp, and the head and torso of a woman appears to emerge from an opening in the street. They all face the man at the center. To our right, another man wearing a cap and holding a cigarette leans against a fire hydrant. Beyond the man in the center stands a man with a moustache and curly hair who points to our right. A woman facing left in profile stands next to him. The artist signed the lower right corner, “Rom are bear den.”

The image shows a rectangular shape in the center composed of translucent, layered sheets with faint horizontal and vertical lines creating a grid pattern. The abstract composition resembles a lightly wrinkled and worn parchment or an ancient map with slight discoloration. The overlapping layers and muted tones suggest depth and fragility.

The image shows a series of vertical, linear shapes of varying thickness arranged in an ordered pattern. The lines create a rhythmic, textural effect, resembling bark patterns or the grain in wood. A horizontal band at the bottom serves as a base-like structure.

The image displays a series of closely arranged vertical and horizontal lines forming a grid pattern with variations creating an undulating wave effect. The design resembles a woven fabric or the texture of a basket. The interplay of shadows and light within the pattern adds depth, enhancing the perception of a three-dimensional surface.

The image features a dense network of sharp intersecting lines within a rectangular area. The lines are mostly dark, contrasting with a lighter, textured background. The composition does not clearly represent any specific object, but resembles shattered glass or tangled tree branches.
