Composition I (still life), Theo van Doesburg
Experiment with shapes
Composition I (still life) from 1916 consists largely of tight horizontal and vertical lines and overlapping circles. The objects of the still life are barely recognizable, except for a lemon at the bottom of the canvas. The painting seems primarily an experiment with geometric shapes, with the warm colours as a counterbalance, which express a certain connotation.
