The Tree 1928

"The Tree" is a 1928 painting by Russian artist Serge Charchoune, a prominent figure in the abstract art movement. The painting features a stark composition of geometric shapes, primarily triangles and squares, with a black circle at its base. The interplay of colors, such as the vibrant green and blue against a muted background, creates a sense of depth and dynamism. Charchoune's work often explored the possibilities of abstraction, simplifying forms and reducing subject matter to its essential geometric elements. The painting exemplifies Charchoune's exploration of geometric abstraction, emphasizing the power of form and color to communicate meaning.
