"Variation IX" (1947) by Swiss artist Leo Leuppi (1893-1972) is a prime example of abstract art. The composition consists of geometric shapes, primarily circles, teardrops, and a checkerboard background. The white, red, and black shapes stand out against the pale blue and gray hues. Leuppi's artwork is characterized by its simplified forms and muted color palette, allowing for a serene and contemplative viewing experience. The work's title "Variation IX" suggests that it's part of a larger series exploring geometric composition.
