4 sphères 1960

Marcelle Cahn’s 1960 abstract painting, “4 sphères,” exemplifies geometric abstraction, using simplified shapes and a limited color palette to create a dynamic composition. The work is characterized by geometric shapes, including squares, rectangles, and circles, as well as black, white, grey, red and orange. The title refers to the four small spheres on the right-hand side of the painting, which create a dynamic interplay of geometric elements. Cahn’s art is often recognized for its strict geometric vocabulary and her exploration of the dynamic relationships of colors and forms within a canvas.
