Olšany 1931

Jindrich Styrsky’s 1931 abstract painting "Olšany" is a striking example of geometric abstraction, using bold shapes, colours and a limited palette to create a sense of depth and perspective. Styrsky's use of overlapping planes in various shades of green, brown, and grey, and a single bright red shape suggest a fragmented landscape with elements of cubism and expressionism. The overall effect is one of dynamic tension, evoking a sense of movement and dynamism.
