EDITORS COMMENTS
**Compositie II (Still Life), 1916**
In this seminal work of De Stijl art movement, Theo van Doesburg presents a visually striking still life composition that embodies the principles of balance and harmony. The photograph captures the essence of Compositie II, an oil on canvas painting created in 1916.
The artwork features a geometric arrangement of shapes and forms in shades of blue, red, yellow, and white. A seesaw-like structure dominates the center, its unbalanced design creating a sense of tension that is counteracted by the overall equilibrium of the composition. This deliberate imbalance adds depth and visual interest to an otherwise symmetrical piece.
Doesburg's use of bold colors and geometric shapes creates a dynamic interplay between positive and negative space, drawing the viewer's eye around the canvas. The artist's innovative approach to abstraction paved the way for future generations of artists, solidifying his position as a pioneer in modern art.
Compositie II is part of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection at Museo Nacional Thyssen Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain. This iconic piece serves as a testament to Doesburg's artistic vision and continues to inspire contemporary artists today.
