Four Abstract Compositions 1965

"Four Abstract Compositions" (1965) by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko (1927-1984) is a minimalist artwork comprised of four identical squares, each featuring a vertical band of hatched lines that varies slightly in its composition. The piece is an example of abstract art, employing geometric shapes and line work to create a visually engaging composition. The use of black and white ink on paper is characteristic of Havrylenko's style, which is characterized by its simplicity and focus on form. The repetitive nature of the design adds a sense of rhythm and pattern, making it both visually engaging and intellectually stimulating.
