Description Object Information Related Objects Online Resources Video Audio
Glarner adopted Mondrian's simplified vocabulary of forms and colors but modified the severity of Mondrian's geometry by introducing diagonal lines that changed rectangles into trapezoids and created irregular rhythmical patterns. This painting typifies the geometric abstractions Glarner produced in New York after he immigrated to the United States in 1936.
