The artwork entitled “Composition X” was created by Theo van Doesburg in 1918. This piece, rendered in oil on canvas, falls under the Neoplasticism art movement and measures 64 x 43 cm. It belongs to the genre of abstract art and is currently housed in the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France.
“Composition X” features an intricate arrangement of interconnected rectangular forms in varied shades of black, grey, and white. These geometric shapes are methodically structured, embodying a sense of balance and harmony characteristic of the Neoplasticism movement. The repetitive, overlapping lines create a rhythmic pattern, evoking a sense of dynamic equilibrium. The austere palette further emphasizes the formal elements of the composition, allowing the viewer to focus on the interplay of shapes and spaces within the artwork.
