The Rice Meals for a Stone 1983

"The Rice Meals for a Stone" is a 1983 drawing by German artist Wolfgang Laib. Laib is known for his minimalist artwork, often using natural materials. This work features a subtle interplay of orange pigment and graphite on a white background. The piece depicts a series of triangles, evoking a sense of order and repetition, perhaps a field of rice. The orange accents, placed strategically, seem to emerge from the composition, hinting at the transformative power of nature. Laib's use of simple forms and materials creates a contemplative experience that invites viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of natural elements.
