Four Part Synchromy, Number 7
1914–1915

A vibrant abstract painting composed of four quadrants, each featuring a mosaic of geometric shapes in various colors. The shapes are arranged in a seemingly random fashion, creating a dynamic and fragmented composition that plays with the perception of depth and space. The use of bold colors and the juxtaposition of the shapes give the artwork a lively and energetic feel.
