Burgoyne Diller

Untitled (Five studies)
1963

A sketch on paper featuring five abstract representations of windows or architectural elements, with each sketch varying in color and design. The top left sketch shows a window with gray shading and a red element, possibly a chimney. The top middle sketch has a window with yellow shading and a blue vertical element. The top right sketch depicts three gray-shaded windows with a red horizontal element below them. The bottom left sketch illustrates a gray-shaded form with a central black rectangle and a red horizontal element. The bottom right sketch is similar to the bottom left but with a thicker red element. The number '63' is handwritten at the bottom right corner.
