Composition
1964
A richly layered abstract composition by Serge Poliakoff, this 1964 oil on canvas showcases his signature interlocking forms rendered in deep, resonant tones of burgundy, black, and muted earth hues. The irregular geometric shapes seem to vibrate against one another, creating a sense of quiet tension and meditative depth characteristic of the Russian-born artist's mature style. Poliakoff's tactile brushwork lends the surface a warm, almost mosaic-like quality that rewards close and careful looking.
