Composition on Green
1936

A vibrant abstract painting featuring a complex arrangement of geometric shapes and planes in various colors, including red, blue, green, yellow, and gray, set against a dark green background. The composition is dynamic, with the shapes seemingly overlapping and interacting with each other, creating a sense of movement and depth.
