About this work

This abstract lithograph features a striking composition of lines, shapes, and text. A prominent red circle dominates the center, containing the words "BAUHAUS AUSSTELLUNG" and "JULI-SEPTEMBER 1923" in gray. The background is a warm, off-white hue, with a red rectangle at the top and a smaller one at the bottom left. A gray, curved line extends from the top left to the bottom right, intersecting with the red circle. A thin, red line follows the curve of the gray shape, adding a sense of movement to the piece. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and geometric harmony. For more information on the artist behind this work, explore the art of Oskar Schlemmer.
