The night comes 1956

"The night comes" is an abstract painting by Alekos Kontopoulos, a prominent Greek artist known for his geometric compositions. Created in 1956, the artwork embodies the artist's exploration of form and color. The painting features a bold interplay of geometric shapes, primarily rectangles, against a predominantly dark background. The striking yellow rectangle at the center of the composition commands attention, contrasting with the muted tones of gray and blue, creating a sense of depth and spatial ambiguity. Kontopoulos' work often reflected his fascination with architectural structures and urban spaces, and this piece seems to evoke a sense of urban geometry and the interplay of light and shadow.
