1610 - ACKERMANN, MAX (1887–1975) “Abstract Composition” 1972 Pastel chalk on black paper. Signed and dated in pencil at the bottom margin: “Ackermann 72.” Sheet size: approx. 23.5 x 31.5 cm. Frame size: approx. 37/45 cm. Vertically structured color composition on a dark background. This work, characteristic of Max Ackermann’s late period, captivates with the expressive contrast between two large cobalt-blue color fields set against a central columnar structure in red, yellow, white, and black. The interplay of geometric and organic formal elements reflects Ackermann’s lifelong exploration of translating musical rhythms into the visual arts. In good condition for its age, with the pastel pigments retaining their fresh luminosity. Framed behind glass in a period gilded wooden frame with a black inner edge. Unopened, never removed from the frame.
