Småting 1940

"Småting" (1940) by Asger Jorn exemplifies the artist's early engagement with abstract art. The painting is a vibrant exploration of color and form, showcasing Jorn's interest in geometric shapes and bold hues. The composition is dense, filled with fragmented figures and overlapping planes, creating a sense of depth and visual complexity. Jorn's use of fragmented forms and bright colors contributes to a dynamic and energetic aesthetic, reflecting the growing influence of abstract expressionism in his work. This work is a testament to Jorn's evolving artistic style and his exploration of abstract expressionism, a signature characteristic of his later career.
