Composição 1975

Lothar Charoux's "Composição" is a symphony of lines and colors that probably came into being through careful planning and precise execution. I can imagine Charoux, maybe listening to some classical music, meticulously laying down each line, each color block. It's interesting to see the contrast between the warm hues of orange and yellow and the cool, collected blue; the lines are thick and thin, diverging and converging like a visual puzzle. There's an echo of Constructivism or even Op Art here, but with a softer, more human touch, it reminds me of the way Sol LeWitt approached his wall drawings. The way the lines interact creates movement and tension, like musical notes on a staff. It feels like Charoux is exploring the possibilities of pure form and color, just like jazz musicians experiment with melody and rhythm, finding new harmonies in unexpected places. I like the way the artist makes us consider how creativity is a conversation between artists across time, each one building on the ideas of those who came before.
