Bild mit schwarzem Keil 1931

"Bild mit schwarzem Keil" (1931) by Carl Buchheister (1890-1964) is an abstract painting characterized by its minimalist composition. The artwork features geometric shapes, primarily triangles, rendered in black and white, creating a sense of starkness and geometric precision. The contrast between the black wedge and the predominantly white background evokes a sense of tension and form. Buchheister’s minimalist approach to form is a hallmark of abstract art from the early 20th century.
