The geometric and symbolic motifs that define Sophie Taeuber-Arp
Her work turns Dada chance operations and Bauhaus discipline into a visual language of grids, circles, and woven color. The obvious answer is abstraction. The fuller one is that her abstraction was built from specific, recurring shapes with their own logic. Read more...

What distinguishes Dumitru Ghiatza from his Romanian peers
