Untitled 1965

Marko Pogacnik made this untitled piece in 1965 by cutting circles into paper. It's so simple, almost austere, and yet there's a playful quality to it, a lightness that comes from the repeated circles. Looking at the surface, you can see the texture of the paper, the way the light catches on the edges of the cuts. It's not just a flat image, it has depth, a physical presence that invites you to reach out and touch it. See how the light filters through the circles, creating a sense of movement and rhythm. It reminds me of the way Agnes Martin used subtle variations in line and color to create a sense of quiet contemplation. Ultimately, this piece invites us to slow down, to pay attention to the small details, and to find beauty in the simplest of forms. It's a reminder that art doesn't always have to be loud or complicated to be meaningful.
