A colourist abstraction by Helge Christiansen, where deep blue and violet tones create a geometric division of the pictorial surface. The central field in lighter blue opens the composition and gives the work an almost architectural character. Christiansen’s watercolour reflects the Danish post-war modernist interest in colour planes and spatial relations.
