Composición 1954

José Pedro Costigliolo made this "Composición," probably with oil on canvas, and I imagine him carefully plotting those lines and circles. There’s something serene and ordered about it, right? That deep blue backdrop feels so calm. I wonder if Costigliolo was thinking about the precision of geometry or maybe the way shapes interact in space. He might have been influenced by Mondrian and the De Stijl movement, but with a warmer, more playful twist. Look at how those white lines shoot across the canvas, meeting that soft yellow circle. It’s not just about shapes; it’s about balance, tension, and how your eye moves around the painting. It feels so carefully considered. Artists are always riffing off each other, building on ideas, and pushing boundaries. That’s the beauty of it, this ongoing conversation through art. Each painting opens up a new way of seeing.
