Kyoto-wa 1985

"Kyoto-wa" is a 1985 geometric abstract drawing by American artist Al Held (1928-2005). The work features a layering of geometric forms, including squares, triangles, and arcs, which create a sense of depth and spatial illusion. The vibrant pastel hues, including pink, green, yellow, and blue, add a sense of tranquility and harmony to the composition. Held's masterful use of line and color in this piece is characteristic of his abstract style, which explored the interplay between geometric forms and color to create a unique visual language.
