Abstracte compositie 1958

Nono Reinhold made this abstract composition, a small print, at some point in his life. I like how the colours—a kind of muted red and blue—don't sit still, they fizz against each other. It's like watching colours negotiate. Looking closely, the texture has a roughness that feels really important. It's as if the surface was built up, maybe through repeated pressing, revealing more and more. See how the red sits on top, creating a rough, almost moss-like texture against the ground of the blue? It gives the print a sense of depth that’s not just visual; you can almost feel it. This piece reminds me of the early abstract expressionists, like Clyfford Still, who were also interested in the physicality of paint. But here, in this small, unassuming print, Reinhold captures a similar sense of raw emotion, proving that size really doesn't matter when it comes to making a statement.
