Calypso II 1956

"Calypso II" is an abstract painting by Jean-Michel Atlan from 1956. The work features bold, geometric shapes rendered in vibrant colors, characteristic of Atlan's style, which was influenced by Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. The interplay of contrasting colors and textures creates a dynamic composition, inviting viewers to explore the depths of the abstract forms. Atlan's use of black outlines defines the shapes, adding further depth and contrast to the work. The painting's title, "Calypso II", suggests a connection to the Greek myth of Calypso, a nymph who imprisoned Odysseus on her island.
