Composition 1927

Janos Mattis-Teutsch made this painting, Composition, and I can tell you, the dance of blues here is something else, right? It's all about how he layers those colors, letting them breathe and blend, a real testament to the art-making process. Look at how the blues shift from almost transparent to deeply opaque. The surface has this soft, chalky feel, like he's gently coaxed the paint into place. It's like a symphony in blue, each layer resonating with the next. I'm drawn to that central diamond of deep, dark blue, see how it anchors the whole piece? It's like a focal point, drawing the eye in, but it's also a gateway, pulling you deeper into the painting's depths. You know, looking at Mattis-Teutsch, I'm reminded a little of Hilma af Klint, that same kind of spiritual quest but rendered in blues that sing a song of infinite possibility.
