In this work by André Evard, the artist completes the dissolution of the representational towards pure abstraction, which foreshadows the constructive rigor of later works.
Influential for this stylistic development were presumably Evard’s increased travels to the artist metropolis of Paris, where he was particularly influenced by abstract painting, especially Cubism. This was the beginning of a new, completely abstract, constructivist formal language in the painter’s oeuvre. An exciting example of this artistic development is the work “Composition”, designed in neutral brown-gray-white tones, which is entirely composed of geometric shapes and lines. The ordering system results from the division ratio of the golden ratio and makes the image composition appear like an ornamental pattern of diamonds and triangles, whereas the rotating disks remind the viewer of Delaunay’s works.
