Lena in interieur 1917

"Lena in Interior" (1917) by Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg exemplifies the geometric abstraction and bold colors characteristic of De Stijl, the artistic movement he co-founded. The figure of Lena is reduced to a series of planes and lines, emphasizing form over representation. The interior setting is equally simplified, creating a dynamic composition through the interplay of contrasting colors and geometric shapes. The artwork demonstrates Van Doesburg's interest in exploring the relationship between art and design, as seen in the simplified, geometric forms and the use of primary colors.
