“Abstraction,” created by Lawren Harris in 1964, is an artwork belonging to the Abstract Art movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork is a vibrant and dynamic composition characterized by a swirling, circular pattern radiating concentric lines and segments. Predominantly rendered in shades of yellow, the piece emanates a sense of energy and warmth. The central spiral appears to expand outward, creating a hypnotic effect. Variations in hue and intensity of the yellow backdrop add depth and texture, while isolated segments of cooler tones, such as blue and gray, interject to balance the overall composition. This piece exemplifies the artist’s prowess in abstract expression, merging geometric precision with a vivid color palette.
