Composition 1968

"Composition" is an abstract painting created by Afro in 1968. Afro, whose real name was Afro Basaldella, was an Italian painter known for his gestural and expressive style, often using bold strokes and vibrant colors. This piece showcases the artist's signature abstract style with its use of contrasting colors - primarily black, red, and white - and energetic, seemingly spontaneous brushstrokes. The chaotic yet balanced arrangement of shapes and colors evokes a sense of movement and energy. The artwork is a prime example of Afro's contribution to the abstract expressionist movement.
