This composition plays with repetition, direction and contrast. Black semicircles alternate horizontally and vertically, so the beige spaces between them also form a pattern. At the bottom are the words ‘Bauhaus’ and ‘Exhibition’, with ‘Frankfurt’ and ‘July 19, 1923’ beneath.
The restrained palette lets the geometric shapes speak for themselves. This makes the piece a lovely fit for a mid-century, Scandinavian or Japandi interior. Place it in the living room, hallway or study as a graphic accent alongside muted colours and simple furniture.
