Colour solution c. 1920s

"Colour Solution" is a painting created by Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg, a leading figure in the De Stijl movement, around the 1920s. This work exemplifies the De Stijl principles of geometric abstraction and the use of primary colors. The painting depicts an interior space with stark, geometric shapes and a limited palette of black, white, red, yellow, and grey. The dynamic composition and the use of planes and lines create a sense of dynamism and energy. The furniture, table and chairs, are rendered with a stark simplicity, furthering the abstract aesthetic of the painting.
