Byzantium 

"Byzantium" is a work by American artist Miriam Schapiro. The artwork consists of a series of geometric shapes, primarily rectangles and squares, rendered in vibrant colors against a dark background. These shapes, seemingly floating in space, are presented in a flattened, two-dimensional style, suggesting a focus on abstraction and a departure from traditional representation. The bold color choices, including primary colors such as red, yellow, and blue, lend a sense of dynamism and energy to the composition. This work embodies the principles of geometric abstraction and the playful exploration of color and form that characterized Schapiro's artistic practice.
