Untitled 1957

This untitled drawing was made by Lothar Charoux using ink on paper, and it’s like looking into a world of pure process. The repetitive, diagonal lines create a kind of hypnotic rhythm, but it's the imperfections that really grab me. See how the lines sometimes wobble or thicken? It’s the artist’s hand, the slight tremor, the human element breaking through the rigid structure. It reminds me that art is never about perfection, but about the beauty found in the doing. The density of the lines varies, creating subtle shifts in tone and texture. At the top the paper peeks through, creating a kind of shimmering effect that makes the image feel almost alive. It's like Agnes Martin’s obsessive grids, but with a raw, unpolished edge. Ultimately, it’s this tension between order and chaos, control and accident, that makes this simple drawing so compelling.
