Composition Lise
1954
"My steps towards the open form eventually led me to a system of angles.
lt took time but, since 1954, all of my works have been based on this system." (Baertling)
lnfluenced by his meeting with Auguste Herbin, Swedish artist Olle Baertling turned to geometric abstraction in 1950. ln Composition Lise , which belongs to a series, three sections of solid colour with black contours lead to a "dynamism of the forces at play". The points of the red and white triangles coincide with the corners of the narrow format of the painting, provoking an overall slant of the shapes and lines which seem to continue beyond the picture.
