More Information
This artist is best known for abstract paintings that use vivid geometric forms to explore the properties of color. Even in this 1953 work, Anuszkiewicz’s interest in geometric shapes can already be seen in the composition of the scene and the simplification of much of the imagery into geometric forms.
