The artwork, titled “Composition,” was created by the artist Wols around the year 1948. It measures 80.3 x 81 cm and belongs to the genre of abstract art.
In the artwork, a chaotic and dynamic interplay of forms and colors captures the observer’s attention. The central focus of the piece features a dense, almost tangled amalgamation of dark and earthy tones, with hints of red punctuating the composition. Surrounding this central area, a softer and more diffuse blend of pale blues and grays extend outward, creating a stark contrast between the central chaos and the surrounding tranquility. The textured application of paint and the irregular, almost organic shapes evoke a sense of fluidity and spontaneity characteristic of abstract expressionism.
