Seven more of the poetry drawings. I used the rectangle as a constant to emphasize the variation that happens within its structure.
Comic books and film do this too but it was new & exciting to me. These are details, the paper being 8" square. So the vertical
rectangle, in the middle of a square, asserts the formal. And there's a minimal kind of economy, suggesting alot with
just a few lines. I was beginning to "get" abstraction and I really got it when I saw the Kandinskys in Paris.
