Untitled (Hélion 33, 5F) 1933

Jean Hélion's "Untitled (Hélion 33, 5F)" from 1933 is a prime example of abstract art. This painting exemplifies the artist's signature style, featuring bold lines and shapes, characterized by minimal details and a strong focus on composition. Hélion, a prominent figure in the French art scene of the 1930s, employed a limited palette of vibrant red, black, and gray against a stark white background. The deliberate simplicity of the forms creates a visually dynamic composition, demonstrating Hélion's exploration of geometric abstraction and his departure from traditional representational painting.
