About the artwork
Dated 1914, "Pelas Janelas (Desdobramento – Intersecção)" is an artwork by Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso. The catalogue places it in Abstract. The format is portrait. 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. Historical background, 1914: Posters, magazines, and illustrated books were major ways for the public to meet new art and design. 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.
"Pelas Janelas (Desdobramento – Intersecção)" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A portrait format suits narrow wall spaces, hallways, and the area beside a door or window. 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.
