Abstract Composition is a 1967 watercolor by Marc Vaux, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three tall, flat rectangles stacked like steps. The first is deep blue, the second a pale green, and the third a soft yellow. The edges are clean and sharp, with no detail inside each shape—just solid color against a light gray background. The artist used watercolor, keeping it simple with no brushstrokes or texture. The colors fade slightly at the edges, like sunlight through a window. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A gouache on paper by Marc Vaux from 1967, the work features a light pinkish white ground within a square format, bordered by a visible pencil line. On the left side, a narrow vertical parallelogram contains light blue, light green, and pale creamish yellow hues, set against the white paper.
