“Simultaneous Composition XXIV,” created by Theo van Doesburg in 1929 in Germany, is an abstract artwork rendered in oil on canvas. This piece, belonging to the Neoplasticism movement, measures 50.2 x 50.4 cm.
The artwork exhibits a meticulous geometrical arrangement, characterized by a grid of black lines that form a variety of rectangles and squares. These shapes are filled with distinct blocks of color, including blue, yellow, gray, and white. The composition is balanced, with each section interacting harmoniously with the others. The use of bold and contrasting colors within the rigid, black skeletal structure exemplifies the principles of Neoplasticism, focusing on pure abstraction and universality by reducing the artwork to fundamental aspects of form and color.
