About this work
The top line is the word "Hiver" (French for "winter") written in uneven black letters.
This drawing shows a light tan background with two simple lines. The top line is the word "Hiver" (French for "winter") written in uneven black letters. Below it, a thin black line sits near the bottom, like a horizon or a fence.
The title includes the year 1960, but the rest is just empty space. The artist left almost nothing else to see—just these marks and a quiet mood.
