The artwork “Color design for walls and ceiling of the Ciné dancing in the Aubette” was created by Theo van Doesburg, a key figure in the Neoplasticism art movement. Classified within the genre of design, this artwork exemplifies the principles of Neoplasticism through its use of geometric forms and primary colors, adhering to the movement’s ideals of abstraction and simplification.
This intricate piece showcases a grid-like composition, featuring a series of rectangles and squares meticulously arranged in a mathematical order. The design is imbued with primary colors such as yellow, red, and blue, interspersed with black and white, adhering to the quintessential characteristics of Neoplasticism. The arrangement suggests a deliberate play of color and form, aiming to create a harmonious and dynamic visual experience. Each colored block is outlined with white borders, creating a crisp separation between the shapes and enhancing the artwork’s structural clarity. This design was envisioned to adorn the walls and ceiling of the Ciné dancing in Aubette, reflecting van Doesburg’s commitment to integrating art with architecture and everyday spaces.
