Marcelle Cahn made this painting without a title using a palette of greys and gold. Imagine Cahn in her studio, arranging simple geometric shapes against a textured grey background. Look at the gold circles—they’re not flat, are they? They catch the light, almost like little suns in a muted galaxy. I can almost feel the push and pull of her decisions, placing each shape, stepping back, and then shifting it just so. What’s so interesting is how these basic forms create something so dynamic. It reminds me of other artists, like Hilma af Klint, who explored similar shapes, searching for hidden meanings. Cahn’s work has a quiet power. It’s a reminder that painting doesn't always need to shout; sometimes, the most profound statements are whispered. It's a conversation—artists responding to each other across time, each adding their voice to the mix.
