Synchromy No. 6 1914

"Synchromy No. 6" (1914) by American artist Morgan Russell is a prime example of Synchromism, an early 20th-century artistic movement that explored the expressive possibilities of color and light. The painting, executed in oil on canvas, consists of a vibrant arrangement of geometric shapes and bold colors. The abstract composition, characterized by its dynamic interplay of hues and forms, creates a sense of movement and energy. Russell's use of contrasting colors, particularly the vivid reds, blues, and yellows, emphasizes the principles of harmony and simultaneous contrast, central to the Synchromist aesthetic.
