Counter Composition V by Theo van Doesburg
The signature work of van Doesburg features a simple composition of geometric shapes and colors arranged in a dynamic and asymmetrical pattern. The piece exemplifies the principles of De Stijl, seeking to create a universal language of form and color that could be applied to all aspects of art and design.
