Four Abstract Compositions (Sketches) 1975

"Four Abstract Compositions (Sketches)" is a 1975 work by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko (1927-1984). The minimalist piece, composed of four framed rectangles, each containing a unique arrangement of black circles rendered with hatched lines, exemplifies abstract art's exploration of form and composition. Havrylenko's use of simple geometric shapes and subtle variations in scale and shading creates a visually engaging interplay of negative and positive space. This work showcases the artist's interest in exploring visual harmony and balance through abstract means.
