Paisaje Verde No. 1 1969

"Paisaje Verde No. 1" (1969) is a striking abstract painting by Mexican artist Gunther Gerzso, a leading figure in the Concrete art movement. Gerzso's work is characterized by geometric shapes and a focus on color and form, which he utilized to evoke a sense of depth and structure. This particular piece is notable for its limited palette of green hues, reminiscent of landscape, yet rendered in a wholly abstract manner. The layered, fragmented squares and rectangles create a visually dynamic composition, drawing the viewer's eye into the depths of the painting. The painting's title, "Green Landscape No. 1," suggests a connection to nature, though Gerzso's abstract approach leaves the interpretation open.
