Cologne Landscape #9
1952

A black and white abstract print featuring bold black shapes and thin, irregular lines on a white background. The composition is dominated by a large black form on the right, with negative white space creating a sense of asymmetry. There are handwritten inscriptions at the bottom, suggesting the piece is numbered and signed by the artist.
