Invention (Composition 31) 1933

Rudolf Bauer's 1933 abstract painting, "Invention (Composition 31)", showcases the artist's interest in geometric abstraction. The work, composed of vibrant hues and contrasting shapes, evokes a sense of dynamism and movement. Bauer's use of sharp angles and overlapping forms creates a sense of depth and complexity, while the interplay of light and dark tones enhances the overall visual impact. The artwork's stark simplicity and bold color palette are characteristic of the Constructivist movement, which aimed to create art that was both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating. "Invention (Composition 31)" exemplifies Bauer's distinctive style and his significant contribution to the development of abstract art.
