The oil painting “Yellow Roses” from 1924 is part of Andr\u00e9 Evard’s Rose Series. Evard consistently pursues his artistic path of concrete abstraction, fully transforming the roses, which were still clearly recognizable in his 1923 works, into a complex geometric composition in this piece. Against a monochrome light gray background, the vibrant composition rises, with the titular yellow dominating the lower part, while a broader color palette \u2013 including shades of red, blue, green, and brown \u2013 was used in the upper section. The geometric, almost symmetrical composition \u2013 characterized by strict, diagonal lines that spread across the painting almost like a grid \u2013 lends the painting a sense of harmony despite all its dynamism. In contrast to the many lines, right angles, and angular forms, in the upper center of the painting, we find circular and semicircular shapes divided into color fields: the roses, whose petals the artist meticulously depicts here as monochromatically colored circular segments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
