Forms on a Plain 1940

"Forms on a Plain" is a 1940 print by Finnish artist Marjean Kettunen. This etching features simplified, geometric shapes rendered in a minimalist style. The composition consists of a large triangular form dominating the left side of the print, with two smaller, similar shapes floating above it. A smaller, dark, rounded form is situated in the upper center. The background consists of a series of parallel lines that suggest a landscape or flat plane. This work exemplifies Kettunen's exploration of abstraction and geometric forms, reflecting the influence of modernism on her art.
