1924
oil
From the collection of Rijksmuseum
Contra-Composition VII is a 1924 oil by Theo van Doesburg, held at Rijksmuseum.
This painting is a geometric abstract composition. It features a large cream-colored square at its center, surrounded by a series of black lines that form a diamond shape. The top and bottom points of the diamond are filled with smaller triangles, one yellow and one orange, while the left and right points are filled with smaller rectangles, one gray and one blue. The painting's use of bold lines and bright colors creates a sense of energy and movement. The geometric shapes seem to overlap and intersect, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality.
