The present work is one of the very last works of the period Pol Bury painted geometrical abstract pictures 1949 – 53, before the focus of his art shifted after visiting an exhibition featuring Alexander Calder’s work in 1952. In 1953 he started to make ‚plans mobiles‘ of painted shapes which could be pivoted manually on their axis, before he gave up painting in 1953 and experimented with various types of kinetic works.
