Ontwerp voor een glas in loodraam met rechthoekige vormen after 1907

This little design for a stained-glass window, made anonymously, is a jewel-like arrangement of soft grays, greens, and purples. I can almost see the artist hunched over their table, carefully layering watercolor to build up these delicate hues. It's interesting to think about how such a small design can hold so much potential. Imagine it scaled up, the light filtering through colored glass, transforming a room. I wonder what the artist was thinking about as they worked? Were they inspired by the architecture of the time, maybe Art Deco, or the geometric abstraction of Mondrian? The thin lines create a framework, but within that, there's a playful asymmetry, a subtle tension between order and chaos. I think the artist was part of an ongoing conversation about the role of design in everyday life, believing in the power of simple forms to bring beauty and meaning to the world. It's these kinds of quiet experiments that keep art alive.
