The door of harmony 1957

"The Door of Harmony" (1957) by Portuguese artist José de Almada-Negreiros (1893-1970) is a prime example of geometric abstraction. The composition features a central black square framed by a white square, further enveloped by two black triangles, all against a stark white background. Almada-Negreiros utilized simple shapes and bold colors to explore form and composition, creating a dynamic and captivating interplay between positive and negative space. The minimalist nature of the artwork and the bold, geometric forms are hallmarks of abstract art and evoke a sense of order and harmony.
