Richard Paul Lohse created this striking "Composition," in his signature style. It's a piece deeply rooted in the socio-political context of post-World War II Europe. Lohse, as a Swiss artist, was heavily influenced by the principles of De Stijl and Concrete Art, movements that sought a universal language through pure abstraction. His use of geometric forms and primary colors embodies a utopian vision, reflecting a desire for social harmony and order in a world recovering from conflict. However, it’s also interesting to note that Lohse worked as a graphic designer. His exploration of identity extends beyond the canvas, inviting us to consider how design shapes our perceptions and interactions within society. The artwork challenges traditional hierarchies and celebrates the potential for equality and unity, reflecting the era’s aspirations for a better future. This piece offers a glimpse into the artist’s desire to reshape society through the power of abstraction.
