Three Gold Circles with Blue Full Circle 1922

Erich Buchholz made this artwork called "Three Gold Circles with Blue Full Circle", and I'm just imagining him in his studio, pushing these shapes around, trying to find the right balance. The shapes are so simple - circles and rectangles - but the way he puts them together is kinda magical. There's this big gold circle at the top, like a sun, and then a blue circle peeking out from behind a black rectangle. What was he thinking when he made this? Was he trying to create a little world, with its own sun and sky? I love the contrast between the smooth blue and pink and the rough, textured gold leaf. It's like he's playing with different ways of seeing and feeling. It reminds me of other artists who were trying to find new ways of representing the world, like Kandinsky or Mondrian. Artists are always in conversation with each other, inspiring each other to see things in new ways.
