“Space Composition, II” is a piece of abstract art created by Johannes Itten in 1944. This artwork falls under the Abstract Art movement and is currently located in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, New York, United States.

The artwork features a dark background with interspersed geometric shapes in vibrant colors. Dominated by a triangular form with a circular shape inside it, located towards the left, which appears to be a pyramid with a light source at its apex. A blue circle is positioned to the right, providing an element of celestial imagery or abstract symbolism. Horizontal rectangular prisms in yellow, orange, and pink are arranged in a grid-like pattern toward the bottom-right quadrant of the piece, giving a sense of spatial depth and composition. The arrangement of the shapes and the choice of contrasting colors evoke a sense of balance and harmony within an abstracted spatial dimension.
