Story

A circle sits on a pale cream ground, split straight down the middle into solid black and plain white halves, stark and symmetrical. The composition is rendered in oil, completed in 1920. It comes from the Hilma af Klint Foundation in Stockholm. The piece reflects abstract art, made by Hilma af Klint (1862–1944), a Swedish painter.
