Abstraction c. 1920s

"Abstraction" is a drawing on paper by Dutch artist Jeanne Rij-Rousseau, created in the 1920s. The piece showcases a geometric composition of overlapping shapes, primarily in shades of brown with accents of pink, orange, and white, creating a sense of depth and dynamism. This abstract artwork exemplifies the artistic trends of the early 20th century, where artists like Rij-Rousseau explored non-representational forms to express emotions and ideas.
