Peinture VII — Jan van Deene

Jan van Deene. Painted 1913.

Non-representational paintings were a new and modern phenomenon in the years 1912-1913. Many artists experimented with pure form and colour and no longer painted still lifes, portraits or landscapes. The title Peinture (Painting) emphasizes that this abstract composition with rounded, uniform areas of colour does not refer to reality outside the painting. Van Deene exhibited his work as ‘absolute art.’
