Circle and Square in Space 1923

"Circle and Square in Space" (1923) by Henryk Berlewi is a prime example of abstract art. The painting features simple geometric shapes, such as circles and a square, arranged on a pale yellow background. The large, light blue circle, the dominant element, is contrasted by black circles, a gridded circle, and a vertical black rectangle. This composition showcases Berlewi's interest in abstract art and his exploration of form and color relationships. The work embodies the artistic style of the early 20th century, characterized by the rejection of traditional representation in favor of pure visual expression.
