Colorful Construction, 1950

With its circular geometric arrangements, this painting recalls Orphism, with works such as Sonia Delaunay’s “Prismes électriques”. In contrast to Delaunay’s paintings, the circle here is fractured internally to create a unique geometric structure.

Notably, the triangle with the squares inside the circle forms a star, whose structure is not broken by the smaller circles above it.
