The artwork titled “Elementary Forms” was created by Sophie Taeuber-Arp in the year 1917. It belongs to the Abstract Art movement and is classified within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a vibrant composition of geometric and organic forms rendered in bold, contrasting colors. It is divided into a grid of nine sections, each containing distinct shapes and patterns. The use of bright reds, yellows, greens, blues, and purples adds a dynamic quality to the piece. The forms within the grid range from curvilinear to rectilinear, creating a sense of rhythm and movement. The juxtaposition of these shapes and colors demonstrates Taeuber-Arp’s exploration of visual harmony and abstraction. The meticulous arrangement and interplay of these elements evoke a tapestry-like texture, imbuing the composition with a tactile, woven appearance.
