Abstracte compositie 1992

Harrie Gerritz made this abstract composition with paint, sometime after 1940, and honestly, it's like peering through a really cool window. I'm seeing muted grays, blues, and greens, like colors you find in a city after the rain. I imagine Gerritz layering those rectangles, one by one, maybe thinking about Mondrian, maybe not! Each block of color feels like a little thought, a tiny decision made in the moment. And there's that vertical gray bar on the left—it's kind of grounding the whole thing, right? It makes me think about supports, the stuff that holds our ideas together, and how even the simplest mark can change everything. It’s all so carefully arranged, but still feels spontaneous, you know? Like he's inviting us to rearrange it in our minds, to play with the possibilities. I love that.
