The letter scale 1923

"The Letter Scale," created in 1923 by Swedish artist Gösta Adrian-Nilsson, exemplifies the principles of abstract art, specifically, the geometric abstraction movement. This piece is composed of bold geometric shapes and primary colors, such as red, black, and white, arranged in a dynamic composition against a red background. This work showcases the artist's exploration of form, space, and color, resulting in a visually engaging piece that resonates with the minimalist aesthetic popularized during the 1920s. This artistic approach, often associated with the Bauhaus movement, prioritized functionality and simplicity, influenced by the industrial revolution and the rise of modern architecture.
