Ohne Titel (Bergdorf mit Figurengruppe) (1932)

Adolf Hölzel is the artist behind "Ohne Titel (Bergdorf mit Figurengruppe)", dated 1932. About the period around 1932: Dada and Surrealism followed the First World War, the Bauhaus school was founded in 1919, and Art Deco became the fashionable decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s. The first decades of the twentieth century were a period of rapid experiment, with Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, and the first abstract painting appearing within a few years of each other. Background on Abstract: It emerged in the early twentieth century, when several artists in Europe and Russia developed non-representational painting during the 1910s. Movements of later decades, including Abstract Expressionism and geometric abstraction, carried non-representational ideas into new scales and materials. The catalogue places it in Abstract. The format is landscape.

"Ohne Titel (Bergdorf mit Figurengruppe)" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A landscape format suits wide, low wall spaces such as the stretch above a bed, mantel, or sideboard. Abstract compositions work through rhythm, colour, and form, which makes them especially effective in modern interiors and in spaces that need a strong visual accent without a literal narrative. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.

German, 1853–1934
