Abstract composition (Triangular Abstract)
1920
This abstract composition by Ross Moffett demonstrates the artist's engagement with geometric abstraction and Cubist-influenced modernism. The work features an angular, bird-like form rendered in cream and white tones, punctuated by a single circular eye, set against a composition of intersecting planes in slate blue, deep red, and burgundy. The fragmented, overlapping shapes suggest both natural and constructed forms, characteristic of early twentieth-century abstraction. Moffett's restrained palette and emphasis on simplified geometric volumes reflect the influence of European modernism on American regional artists, particularly those working in the Provincetown artistic community.
