Composition III 1916

Patrick Henry Bruce's "Composition III" (1916) is a vibrant abstract painting that showcases the artist's embrace of the Cubist movement. The work is characterized by its bold geometric shapes, vivid colors, and dynamic interplay of planes. Bruce's use of flat, overlapping forms and fragmented lines creates a sense of depth and movement, challenging traditional representational art. The painting's energetic composition reflects the dynamism and experimentation of early 20th-century abstract art.
