"Enigma" (c. 1984) is a geometric abstraction by Isia Leviant (1914-2006). The work consists of a series of concentric circles with a black and white striped pattern, punctuated by bands of color transitioning from red to purple at the center of the composition. This work exemplifies Leviant's interest in visual illusions and the play of light and shadow, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay between color and form.
