The artwork, titled “Malego by the Sea” and created by Dieter Roth in 1972, is a piece belonging to the Neo-Dada art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art.
In “Malego by the Sea,” one observes a composition featuring various geometric forms arranged within a square frame. A prominent vertical shape intersects with a series of gridlines reminiscent of a brick wall on the right-hand side. On the left, a cylindrical form, potentially evoking the structure of a hat, rests on a flat, circular base. The artwork is rendered in hues of blue, employing a combination of both solid lines and delicate shading. The backdrop is subtly textured, adding depth to the overall visual presentation. The precision and simplistic elegance of the lines contribute to a contemplative assemblage, reflective of the Neo-Dada movement’s approach to abstraction and commentary on everyday objects.
