Composition was produced in 1927, four years after Foltyn moved to Paris from Brno, and presents a manifestation of the dramatic transformation his artistic ambitions underwent after his encounter there with contemporary abstract artists. The contrasting yet harmonious arrangement of intersecting geometric shapes reflects Foltyn’s theories about the underlying rhythms of the cosmos that link space, music, rhythm, form and colour into a coherent image. Along with František Kupka, who was one of his lecturers at the academia Grande-Chaumiere, Foltyn has been considered one of the most important Czech painters of non-figurative art.
