Beflügelt 1949

"Beflügelt" (1949) by Swiss artist Leo Leuppi (1893-1972) is an abstract work executed on a dark canvas with white cut-out paper. The paper creates a dynamic and free-flowing form reminiscent of an abstract representation of the natural world. The use of cut-out paper adds a textural element to the piece and emphasizes the contrast between the dark canvas and the white paper. Leuppi's abstract style emerged from the post-war era and explores the potential of materials and form to express emotions and experiences.
