Opus 46 1958

Hans Hinterreiter made 'Opus 46' with a plan, no doubt! Look at how these sharp, angular shapes in red, white, and black jostle for space. What was Hinterreiter thinking when he made it? What kind of a system did he have for making these paintings? I imagine it would involve precise measurements and calculations to create a sense of both order and dynamism. The flat application of color emphasizes the geometric forms, making each shape distinct yet part of a larger visual rhythm. You know, painting can be a real conversation across time. Artists like Carmen Herrera or even Sol LeWitt come to mind, all exploring geometry, line, and color in ways that feel both rigorous and deeply personal. What do you think they would have said to one another? Painting is just one big conversation, where we keep revisiting the same questions, but always with a new accent.
