A vibrant geometric composition from Joseph Schillinger's 'The Mathematical Basis of the Arts' series, circa 1934. This artwork showcases the harmonious interplay of colour and form derived from mathematical principles, perfect for adding a touch of mid-century modernism to any interior.
This vibrant geometric composition, 'Green Squares', is part of Joseph Schillinger's series 'The Mathematical Basis of the Arts', circa 1934. Schillinger, a Ukrainian-American composer, music theorist, and artist, developed a comprehensive system for artistic creation based on mathematical principles. This artwork exemplifies his theories, showcasing the harmonious interplay of colour and form derived from mathematical relationships. The painting features a grid-like structure with alternating squares of deep blue and soft grey, each containing a combination of overlapping circles and geometric shapes in shades of yellow, teal, and white. The overlapping creates a sense of depth and visual complexity, while the carefully chosen colour palette evokes a sense of balance and harmony. As a fine art print, 'Green Squares' brings a touch of mid-century modernism to any interior. Its bold colours and geometric design make it a striking focal point for a living room, study, or hallway, adding a sophisticated and intellectual flair to your home decor. The artwork's mathematical underpinnings also make it a conversation starter, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of art and science.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Joseph Schillinger
Joseph Schillinger (1895-1943) was no ordinary composer. Born in Kharkov, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, he was a musical innovator, theorist, and teacher who developed a comprehensive system of musical composition based on mathematical principles. This wasn't mere number-crunching; Schillinger believed that all artistic disciplines, from music to painting to dance, could be unified through a shared understanding of mathematical relationships. Imagine the sheer audacity of attempting to codify creativity itself! Schillinger's influence rippled through 20th-century American music, particularly in popular genres. He taught a dazzling array of students, including George Gershwin, who applied Schillinger's techniques to works like "Porgy and Bess." Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, and even Disney animators sought his guidance, demonstrating the breadth of his system's appeal. While his methods weren't without their critics, who found them overly prescriptive, Schillinger's impact on the soundscape of the era is undeniable. Though Schillinger's name might not be as widely recognised as some of his students, his legacy lives on in the mathematical underpinnings of modern music and art. His book, "The Schillinger System of Musical Composition," remains a challenging but rewarding read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the creative process. Owning a print related to Schillinger is a nod to the hidden structures that shape our artistic experiences.
