Untitled 

This abstract painting, "Untitled," by Russian-French artist Serge Poliakoff (1906–1969), is an excellent example of hard-edge abstraction. The simple geometric shapes of red, green, and white evoke an architectural sensibility. The large, flat planes of color are sharply delineated and create a sense of depth and movement, as if the shapes were floating in space. This work is typical of Poliakoff's art from the 1950s and 1960s, which explored the expressive power of form and color.
