Compoziție (1916-1920), I is a 1918 unspecified by Hans Mattis-Teutsch, held at Țării Crișurilor Museum.
This painting is a swirl of bold colors and sharp lines. You see thick brushstrokes of blue, red, and orange arranged in circles and waves. The colors clash and blend at the same time, with no clear shapes—just a mix of light and dark patches. There’s a sense of movement, like the painting itself is spinning. The thick paint here stands out—it’s almost raised, making the colors pop even more. This technique is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture. Check out impasto to see how other artists used this bold, textured style.
Hans Mattis-Teutsch made bold, rhythmic paintings and prints that feel like music turned into shapes.
