Tournament
1976
Tournament is a dynamic abstract collage created by Fritz Bultman in 1976-77, exemplifying his mature geometric abstraction. The work features interlocking curved and angular forms in vibrant blues, reds, ochre, and white, with repeated diamond motifs creating rhythmic visual play. This large-scale piece demonstrates Bultman's mastery of color relationships and his distinctive approach to collage, combining bold architectural forms with carefully orchestrated surface tensions.

Romare Bearden
American · b. 1911
Bearden created large scale abstract collages using painted and cut papers with bold interlocking geometric forms and vibrant color relationships, sharing Bultman's rhythmic visual tension and dynamic surface energy in the collage medium.
Hans Hofmann
American · b. 1880
Hofmann's push and pull theory of color produced boldly orchestrated compositions of interlocking rectangular and curved forms in saturated blues, reds, and ochres that closely parallel the architectural color tensions and geometric abstraction in Tournament.
Sonia Delaunay
French · b. 1885
Delaunay's work features rhythmically repeating curved and angular geometric motifs in vibrant, carefully orchestrated color combinations, creating the same kind of dynamic visual play and interlocking form relationships seen in Bultman's Tournament.
