The artwork “Girl with Buttercups,” created by Theo van Doesburg in 1914, is an oil painting on canvas measuring 80 by 80 centimeters. This piece belongs to the Abstract Art movement and is categorized within the portrait genre.
The artwork exhibits an abstract representation, characterized by its vivid color palette and simplified forms. The subject appears to consist of a girl’s face, suggested through exaggerated and abstracted features, such as large, round eyes and pronounced red circles on the cheeks. The background and other elements in the artwork follow a similar abstract style, with bold, curvilinear lines and contrasting areas of color. The use of geometric shapes and the intricate interplay of colors reflect the artist’s inclination toward abstraction and his experimentation with form and composition.
