Artist, German, born 1932

The image shows a large, curved line intersecting with several diagonal lines, creating an abstract portrayal of a turned page. The contrast between light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional fold illusion. Handwritten elements under the curl suggest a partially revealed note. The linear simplicity, interplay of light and shadow, and connections to everyday paper interactions contribute to the abstract nature of the image.
