Detailed description
Picture "Composition IX, Opus 18 (Abstraction of Card Players)" (1917), framed
Theo van Doesburg founded "De Stijl" together with Piet Mondrian in 1917 and formulated a highly reduced concept of art based on rational, mathematical principles, which he called "concretism".
Gicleé on canvas, stretched on a stretcher frame. Limited edition of 499 copies, with a numbered certificate on the back. In high-quality shadow gouge. Size 82 x 75 cm (h/w).
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from the representational depiction, which spread throughout the entire western and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, spurt".
The giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format printout on an inkjet printer with special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The colours are fade-proof, i.e. resistant to harmful UV light. They have a high richness of nuance, contrast and saturation.
The giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade and watercolour paper as well as for silk.
