Paris Roofs II 1952

"Paris Roofs II," created in 1952 by Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, is a geometric abstraction that showcases the artist's Cubist influences. The composition uses a variety of geometric shapes and forms to depict the rooftops of Paris, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The use of muted, earthy colors, including shades of gray, brown, and green, creates a sense of tranquility and harmony, reminiscent of the cityscape under a hazy sky. This artwork is a testament to Ghikas's exploration of urban landscapes through the lens of abstraction, offering a unique perspective on the architecture and atmosphere of Paris.
