No direct title: if the title was representational then it takes the viewer out of being forced to see something. 1927 still within the roaring 20"s. There"s a subtle brushwork tension that he depicts that isn"t shown in other paintings by other painters: therefore it"s difficult to copy this piece. 1925 he applied mondrian"s principles of dynamic equilibrium and de stijil"s aesthetic theories to architecture: the furniture is designed to go along with the environment.
