Ideogram 1938

Willi Baumeister's "Ideogram" from 1938 is an example of his abstract style, known for its use of geometric shapes and bold colors. This artwork is a striking example of this style, featuring a large, dark, curved form that contrasts sharply with the pale yellow background. The artist's signature, which often included lines and crosshatching, adds an extra layer of texture and detail to the painting. Baumeister's "Ideograms" are a captivating study in the power of simplified forms.
