Untitled

A minimalist artwork featuring three large black geometric shapes on a white background, creating a sense of asymmetrical balance. The shapes resemble angular, abstract forms, possibly suggesting motion or interaction. The artist's signature and the year 1967 are visible at the bottom right corner.
