Composição 1964

Lothar Charoux, an artist of the twentieth century, created "Composição" exploring geometric abstraction. Charoux’s work confronts the rigid structures of modernism. The stark, vertical lines, juxtaposed with the intrusion of color and geometric shapes, can be viewed as a dialogue between order and disruption. Consider the socio-political contexts of the 20th century – the rise of totalitarian regimes, the emphasis on standardization, and the suppression of individuality. How might Charoux’s geometric abstractions reflect these broader historical trends? Does the asymmetry and the stark contrast in "Composição" echo sentiments of alienation? By experiencing the work, we may reflect on our own negotiations between societal expectations and personal expression. It prompts us to seek beauty, or perhaps unease, in the delicate balance between structure and deviation.
