Harps 1945

Willi Baumeister's "Harps" from 1945 is a striking example of abstract art. The composition features three large black forms against a light background, reminiscent of musical instruments. The simplified shapes and bold lines evoke a sense of rhythm and movement, characteristic of Baumeister's post-war abstract style. The use of white and black creates a stark contrast, emphasizing the geometric forms and highlighting the artist's exploration of formal elements. "Harps" exemplifies Baumeister's innovative approach to abstraction, revealing his interest in musicality and the visual language of form.
