ABSTRACT STYLE

Beginning in the early 20th century, abstract art became a leading style of modernism. Rather than portray the world in a way that represented reality, as had been the dominating style of Western art in the previous centuries, abstract paintings, prints and sculptures are marked by a shift to geometric forms, gestural shapes and experimentation with color to express ideas, subject matter and scenes.

Although abstract art flourished in the early 1900s, propelled by movements like Fauvism and Cubism, it was rooted in the 19th century. In the 1840s, J.M.W. Turner emphasized light and motion for atmospheric paintings in which concrete details were blurred, and Paul Cézanne challenged traditional expectations of perspective in the 1890s.

Some of the earliest abstract artists — Wassily Kandinsky and Hilma af Klint — expanded on these breakthroughs while using vivid colors and forms to channel spiritual concepts. Painter Piet Mondrian, a Dutch pioneer of the art movement, explored geometric abstraction partly owing to his belief in Theosophy, which is grounded in a search for higher spiritual truths and embraces philosophers of the Renaissance period and medieval mystics. Black Square, a daringly simple 1913 work by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, was a watershed statement on creating art that was free “from the dead weight of the real world,” as he later wrote.

Surrealism in the 1920s, led by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Meret Oppenheim and others, saw painters creating abstract pieces in order to connect to the subconscious. When Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York during the mid-20th century, it similarly centered on the process of creation, in which Helen Frankenthaler’s expressive “soak-stain” technique, Jackson Pollock’s drips of paint, and Mark Rothko’s planes of color were a radical new type of abstraction.

Conceptual art, Pop art, Hard-Edge painting and many other movements offered fresh approaches to abstraction that continued into the 21st century, with major contemporary artists now exploring it, including Anish Kapoor, Mark Bradford, El Anatsui and Julie Mehretu.

Mid-Century Geometric Abstract Painting, Turquoise and Yellow, Acrylic on Canvas

Located in NANTES, FR

This striking geometric abstract painting by Gunda Hass, dated 1990, is an acrylic on canvas composed of interlocking geometric forms, contrasting planes and a carefully balanced arrangement of colour. A luminous turquoise circle anchors the composition, intersected by deep blue rectangular shapes and a prominent golden-yellow triangle. Subtle variations of teal, pale mint, ivory and dark blue create a sense of depth, while translucent-looking angular forms in the background suggest architectural space. The painting combines the visual clarity of geometric abstraction with a distinctly architectural sensibility. Its crisp edges, overlapping shapes and simplified volumes evoke the modernist exploration of geometry, spatial perception and colour relationships. The warm yellow triangle provides a strong focal point against the cooler blue-green palette, giving the composition both energy and equilibrium. Executed in acrylic on canvas, the work benefits from the medium's capacity for clean colour fields and precise geometric definition. Its substantial 100 × 80 cm format makes it well suited to contemporary interiors, minimalist spaces and modernist-inspired collections. Presented in an original blue floating frame designed by the artist, this 1990 abstract painting offers collectors and interior designers a distinctive example of late twentieth-century geometric abstraction. TECHNICAL DETAILS Technique: Acrylic on canvas Date: 1990 Dimensions: 100 × 80 cm (39.4 × 31.5 in) Framed in its original blue floating frame Signature: Signed on the reverse Excellent condition ABOUT THE ARTIST Gunda Hass is associated with Gunda Hass-Gonschorr, née Hass, a German artist born in Berlin in 1940. Gunda Hass, also known as Gunda Hass-Gonschorr, is a German artist born in Berlin on 3 November 1940. She studied at the Kunstschule Hamburg from 1957 to 1961, establishing an artistic foundation that encompassed formal composition and visual expression. In 1961–1962, she designed stained-glass windows for the Waldkirche in Timmendorfer Strand, one of her first major artistic commissions. The windows demonstrate her interest in strong colours and graphic stylisation. Between 1962 and 1974, Hass taught creative practice to children, young people and adults. From 1972 to 1981, she directed Galerie Happ in Berlin-Charlottenburg, combining artistic experience with involvement in the gallery world. Since 1982, she has worked as an independent artist and has been based in Berlin. Her documented work includes stained glass and painting. The present acrylic canvas, created in 1990, reveals an interest in geometric organisation, contrasting colours and the construction of pictorial space. Its precise shapes and architectural arrangement place it in dialogue with modernist and geometric abstraction. FRAME AND SHIPPING The artwork is sold in the original blue floating frame, designed by the artist. It's professionally packed to ensure maximum protection during transit. All shipments are fully insured and include tracking.
