About Abstract Composition, Knossos

“Abstract Composition, Knossos,” created by Jean Arp in 1956, is an exemplar of the Abstract Art movement, embodying the abstract genre for which the artist is renowned.

The artwork features a complex interplay of geometric forms and curves in a monochromatic palette. The composition is dominated by an animated arrangement of intersecting shapes, resulting in a dynamic yet balanced visual experience. The central motif includes a series of white geometric shapes integrated into a larger irregular blue field, creating a sense of fluid motion and organic structure. The shapes seem to twist and turn within the frame, evoking a sense of depth and dimensionality. The abstract quality of the artwork eschews representational forms, inviting viewers to engage with it through the lens of pure form, line, and color.
