Window 1948

"Window" (1948) by Wladyslaw Strzeminski, a leading figure in the Polish avant-garde, is a prime example of his "unism" style. The painting's abstract geometric forms, like the window shape, are rendered in bold primary colors and layered across the canvas. The use of bold, simple shapes and saturated colors reflects Strzeminski's interest in creating a pure, non-representational art form, rooted in abstract geometric principles. The vibrant, almost mosaic-like background, with its detailed patterns, further emphasizes the geometric shapes in the foreground. This interplay of colors and forms is a hallmark of his unique artistic language, evident in other works from his prolific career.
