The artwork “Small Table (Upper Surface)”, created by Julius Evola in 1920, belongs to both the Abstract Art and Dada movements and is classified as abstract genre. This piece encapsulates the dynamic interplay of shapes, colors, and forms characteristic of these early 20th-century artistic explorations.
The artwork features an intriguing arrangement of organic shapes intertwined with rectilinear forms, rendered in a palette of earthy tones, including shades of red, green, beige, and black. The composition conveys a sense of movement and fluidity, as various shapes overlap and interact with one another. Central to the piece are several oval and circular motifs that seem to float and merge against the background, creating a rich tapestry of abstract forms. The overall effect is one of rhythmic energy and a harmonious balance between contrasting elements, typical of the abstract and Dada aesthetics of the time.
