"D-VIII 60" is a 1960 work by German artist Oskar Holweck. This minimalist piece is a testament to the power of negative space. It features a series of intricate, repeated cuts in paper, creating an abstract, almost musical pattern of light and shadow. The piece is a prime example of Holweck's exploration of paper as a medium, and the way in which seemingly simple manipulations can evoke complex visual experiences.
