Space Construction 1922

"Space Construction" (1922) by Peter Laszlo Peri, is a quintessential example of geometric abstraction. The artwork utilizes a simple composition of geometric shapes, primarily a crescent moon, a rectangle and a triangle, all created with black, gray, and white tones. The use of these basic elements allows the viewer to focus on the abstract relationships between the forms, creating a sense of space and movement. Peri's work is particularly captivating due to the artist's ability to create complex and dynamic compositions with minimal elements. The composition evokes a sense of futuristic architecture and spatial exploration, embodying the early 20th-century artistic trend of exploring the geometric form and the spatial implications of composition.
