Variations I 1948

"Variations I" (1948) by Swedish artist Lennart Rodhe (1916-2005) is an abstract composition composed entirely of geometric shapes. The painting is dominated by bold, primary colors, with a central focal point of a white circle surrounded by overlapping blue and red triangles. The use of geometric shapes and vibrant colors is characteristic of abstract art, particularly the style known as geometric abstraction. Rodhe's work often explored the relationships between color, form, and space, challenging viewers to engage with the composition in a purely visual manner.
