I : 13
A development through six years (1936, 1941, 1942).
Left: A line construction of two very different halves. Four thin verticals raise two, three, or four foreshortened horizontal rectangles to various levels. Within the right half, six thin slanting parallels invite one to make a relationship of some corner points of a mostly vertical structure to each other or to the left half. This, all together, produces a challenging confusion. That was 1936.
Right: The two colors, off-white and light gray, enter the inner shape of a similar drawing to the one of 1936. The additional black surrounding the grays makes the left definitely appear carpet-like (flat) and the right half (still flat) distinctly standing upright. That was 1941.
