Associated Names

Richard Tuttle

Artist, American, born 1941

The image shows abstract lines forming geometric shapes. A pair of parallel diagonal lines intersect with a jagged line, creating a shape resembling a right triangle. The arrangement could be compared to an architectural drawing or a minimalist representation of a sailboat. The composition is minimalistic, emphasizing the contrast between the lines and empty space.
