More about this artwork
"Abstrakte Formen V" (1913) by August Macke is a compelling example of early abstract art that showcases the artist's exploration of color and form. In this painting, Macke departs from representational imagery, embracing instead a composition that prioritizes geometric shapes and intersecting lines.The artwork features an array of vibrant, almost translucent colors, including blues, greens, and oranges, set against a more muted background. Sharp black lines create structure within the chaos, forming an intriguing juxtaposition of both stability and fluidity. The layering and overlapping of shapes create a dynamic sense of movement, suggesting a rhythm that both balances and energizes the piece.This painting captures the innovative spirit of the early 20th-century avant-garde movement, of which Macke was a significant proponent.

August Macke (3 January 1887 – 26 September 1914) was a German Expressionist painter. He was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). He lived during a particularly innovative time for German art: he saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe. Like a true artist of his time, Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him.
