This work features a sparse arrangement of geometric shapes in primary colours against a white background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBart van der Leck (1876-1958) was a Dutch painter, designer, and ceramicist. He is associated with the De Stijl movement, which sought a pure abstraction and universality by reducing form to the essentials of geometry, colour, and line. Van der Leck's early work was influenced by impressionism and symbolism, but he gradually developed a more abstract style. He worked alongside Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg, key figures in the De Stijl group, though he later diverged from their strict theoretical approach. \n\nThis untitled abstract composition exemplifies van der Leck's mature style. The work features a sparse arrangement of geometric shapes, primarily rectangles and squares, in a limited palette of primary colours (red, yellow, blue) and black, set against a white background. The composition is not symmetrical, but the distribution of shapes creates a sense of balance. The small grey dashes add texture and visual interest to the composition. Van der Leck's abstraction aimed to convey universal harmony and order, moving beyond the representation of the visible world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/composition-in-colour-a-piet-mondrian\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eComposition in Colour A - Piet Mondrian — Piet Mondrian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/abstraction-georgia-okeeffe\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAbstraction - Georgia O'Keeffe — Georgia O'Keeffe\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bart van der Leck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57709611680079,"sku":null,"price":32.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57709624230223,"sku":null,"price":39.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57709624262991,"sku":null,"price":47.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Abstract-Composition_Poster_CompositorV1_1778893686573.jpg?v=1778894774"},{"product_id":"composition-no-4-leaving-the-factory-bart-van-der-leck","title":"Composition No. 4 (Leaving The Factory) - Bart van der Leck","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis abstract composition by Bart van der Leck depicts workers leaving a factory using simplified geometric forms and primary colours, reflecting the artist's association with the De Stijl movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBart van der Leck (1876-1958) was a Dutch painter, designer, and ceramicist.

He is associated with the De Stijl movement, known for its abstract geometric forms and primary colours. Van der Leck's work evolved from representational to increasingly abstract compositions, often inspired by everyday subjects. He aimed to create a universal visual language through simplified forms and colours. His contributions extended to typography and textile design, reflecting a holistic approach to art and its integration into daily life. He briefly collaborated with Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg, but later diverged from their strict adherence to orthogonal lines. \n\n'Aaronskelken; arums' presents a highly abstracted depiction of arum lilies. The composition is dominated by a pale, off-white background, against which small, simplified shapes are scattered. These shapes, rendered in muted tones of red, yellow, and blue, suggest the forms of the flowers and their leaves. The overall effect is one of subtle, almost ethereal, abstraction, where the natural subject is reduced to its most basic geometric elements.

The image is composed of geometric shapes in a limited palette of yellow, red, blue, black, and grey against a white background. The goat's form is suggested through these simplified shapes, rather than depicted realistically. The composition is flat and ornamental, with a focus on the arrangement of shapes and colours.

The colour palette is restrained, featuring white as the dominant colour, with small areas of yellow, black, blue, and red. The composition is flat, with minimal depth or perspective.
