Composition (Study for "Bild mit zwei roten Flecken")

Free of associative references to reality "Composition" is structured according to a recurrent, dynamic diagonal principle, reminiscent of his work during his final period spent in Bavaria in which he began to unravel the difficulties presented by spatial depth on the flat surface of the sheet; the plane on which a series of marks, lines and combinations of form and colour produce visual effects, at times retreating, in other approaching, yet always relative to the viewer's gaze.
