Composition I 1949

"Composition I" is a 1949 painting by Gene Davis, known for his abstract and geometric style. The painting features a bold, graphic composition of simple shapes, such as a vertical brown rectangle on the left and a curved orange shape on the top right. The composition is set against a light purple background, with a dark green section at the bottom right, suggesting a sense of depth. This work is a prime example of Davis's early experimentation with form and color, showcasing his minimalist approach to abstract art.
