Tension D'Images 1945

"Tension D'Images" (1945) by Alberto Magnelli (1888-1970) is a prime example of abstract art, characterized by geometric shapes and vibrant colors. The painting features a central red rectangle against a pale peach background, filled with dynamic and overlapping geometric forms in black, white, grey, and shades of orange. Magnelli's signature style, employing a simplified geometric vocabulary, captures the essence of form and color while reflecting a sense of visual tension and dynamism, characteristic of abstract art in the mid-20th century.
