Upward
1929
Geometric abstraction
Oil on cardboard
Venice. Peggy Guggenheim Collection
This work is also symbolic: a whole composition consisting of geometric shapes, in accordance with its title, offers us “energetically vertical” interpretation, and the shapes reminding the letter “E” in the bottom and the upper right corner, can fairly well be an original reference to the German title of the picture (“Empor”).

Tabby from Wales: I like the look of this painting, though I have no clue what it means.08 October 2018
know one know my name: amazing,the water colour really pops espaically with the amount of black used.its really deep and meaning-less all i can focus on is the deep blue backround and the anonymous stare placed by the big black dot. the picture looks like a small child with a hay and scarf taken from the side. but once you look at the dot its facing you and you can't unsee it..06 February 2015
