Grundriß, pars pro toto V 2005

Lothar Baumgarten’s *Grundriß, pars pro toto V* (2005) is a minimalist drawing that utilizes a simple geometric form, the triangle. It is executed in charcoal on a white wall and creates a sense of depth and perspective. The lines that make up the triangles appear to be drawn with a shaky hand, suggesting a sense of human intervention. The artist’s use of the geometric form, a common feature of minimalist art, is further emphasized by the contrasting white walls.
