Still Life (Composition V)

"Still Life (Composition V)" by Theo van Doesburg exemplifies his pioneering approach to Abstract art through a dynamic arrangement of geometric forms and bold primary colors. Painted on canvas, the work reflects his commitment to the principles of De Stijl, emphasizing harmony and balance. While inspired by traditional still life compositions, van Doesburg deconstructed objects into abstract shapes, using oil paints to achieve vibrant, contrasting effects. The painting invites viewers to see everyday objects through a modern, artistic lens.
