The landscape reorganised

Landscape at Meudon turns roofs, walls and slopes into overlapping planes, while the buildings remain recognisable. Different directions meet within the same view, making the structure of the image as noticeable as the place itself. Other landscapes in the collection offer further variations between observation and simplification.

Objects, figures and interlocking forms

Cubist Composition gathers curved and angular shapes around a compact central arrangement. Small blocks of detail interrupt broader areas of colour. The image can be explored through the way one edge continues into another, rather than by isolating every suggested object.

Rhythm through curves and colour

Symphony in Purple builds an upright composition from concentric forms and layered bands. Its rounded movement offers a contrast with the more angular landscape. Browse geometric abstracts for further arrangements of repeated forms, or abstract art for a wider range of colour relationships.
