About this work
Overview
Lothar Hempel's Untitled, created in 2003, is a drawing on three pieces of paper using synthetic polymer paint. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The work depicts a tall, slender figure with a green hat and pale face, composed of geometric shapes in white, gray, and dark brown. The figure stands on a red square with a grid, its face reduced to a simple form with a single circular eye.
Technique & Style
The figure is constructed from flat, sharp shapes, evoking stacked blocks. The use of bold, simple colors creates a striking contrast, particularly between the green hat and the warm brown background.
