Composição 1960

Lothar Charoux made this Composition at an unknown date, using an unknown medium. The artwork shows a series of lines forming a triangular shape that seems to ascend into the black background, leaving the viewer questioning whether the artist was inspired by architecture and skyscrapers. The lines create meaning through visual codes that have historical associations with modernity. During the 20th century, artists expressed interest in geometric abstraction and modernism through buildings and skyscrapers, representing the rise of capitalist societies and challenging previous social norms. To gain a deeper understanding of Charoux's work, it would be beneficial to explore the artist's complete collection and examine institutional archives and exhibition catalogs of the period. Understanding the art as a product of social conditions will enable us to explore the meanings it had at the time.
