Astrazione 1930

"Astrazione" (1930) by German artist Julius Bissier is a prime example of abstract art. The painting features a composition of geometric shapes and forms, rendered in a limited palette of gray, brown, and white. The subject is a series of seemingly disconnected objects, suggesting a focus on the formal qualities of art rather than representation. Bissier's work reflects the influence of Cubism, particularly its emphasis on geometric structure and the fragmentation of forms. While the painting is abstract, it hints at industrial themes, perhaps a response to the rise of mechanization in the early 20th century. The work exemplifies the exploration of non-representational art in the early 20th century.
