Abstract Compositions, 1932

In 1932, André Evard created a truly exceptional series of works, which differed from his previous creations and his entire oeuvre. In this series, he experimented with various colors, as he had previously done in his serial works. For the background, he consistently chose a specific color – thus, there are white, black, and red variations of the “Composition Abstraite.” He superimposed geometric shapes onto the colored background, presenting them in various arrangements, which alters the perception of space in each painting. These primarily consist of rectangles, triangles, and L-shaped elements.

With these works, André Evard illustrates his artistic engagement with Suprematism, the highest form of non-objective painting. His constructions are based on small paper collages, allowing him to experiment with various compositions.
