Composition II, Pink and Blue 1921

"Composition II, Pink and Blue" is a 1921 painting by Hungarian artist Sándor Bortnyik, a prime example of geometric abstract art. Bortnyik, a prominent figure in the Hungarian avant-garde, utilized basic geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, and circles, colored in shades of pink, blue, and black, arranged in a dynamic and balanced composition, creating a visually engaging exploration of form and color. This work exemplifies the minimalist aesthetic and formal experimentation that characterized the early 20th century, often referred to as the "Golden Age of Hungarian Art."
