The artwork titled “Hemdenstein,” created by Dieter Roth in 1971, belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork comprises a rectangular frame filled with a meticulous arrangement of lines and shapes that interact with each other. The central motif features a complex grid pattern combined with vertical and horizontal lines, intersecting and overlaying each other to form distinct geometrical forms. These lines frame elliptical shapes that punctuate the core of the composition. The image’s edges are slightly rough, providing a contrast to the precision of the central design. This juxtaposition of order and irregularity embodies the Neo-Dada aesthetic, blending careful structure with an underlying sense of unpredictability.
