Chris Lanooy's "Abstract-futurist Composition" (c. 1912) is a prime example of early 20th-century abstract art. The piece features a vibrant, swirling landscape of gestural brushstrokes and bold colors. Lanooy, a Dutch artist, was inspired by the Futurist movement's embrace of modern technology and dynamism. This painting captures the feeling of movement and energy through its dynamic composition and the use of bold, contrasting colors.
Comments
In 1912-1913 paintings by Italian Futurists were exhibited in various Dutch cities. Their picturing of movement with ‘lines of force,’ as they called them, was unprecedented. While Futurism became a hype in the newspapers, it found less resonance among Dutch artists. An exception was the Gouda ceramist and painter Chris Lanooy. His dynamic composition of rays and circles evokes the image of an explosion, or a car racing by.
