Labyrinth 1948

"Labyrinth" is a 1948 abstract painting by German-American artist Hans Richter, notable for its stark simplicity and focus on form. The work's composition is dominated by black, white, and gray shapes that intertwine and interact, evoking a sense of movement and depth. The use of bold, organic lines and geometric forms creates a dynamic and almost hypnotic effect. Red accents in the painting add a striking contrast and further emphasize the interplay of shapes. This work is a prime example of Richter's exploration of abstract art principles and his interest in creating dynamic and visually captivating compositions.
