Just in is this constructivist-influenced work by the German-American artist Paul Kelpe, c. 1935. Born in Germany, he was keenly aware of the work of Kurt Schwitters, Kandinsky and the Russian constructivists. He immigrated first to Chicago and then settled in New York where his work in abstraction was welcomed. His work has an architectural element, with the forms simultaneously stacked and floating, along with the feel of engineering. His work can be found in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Baltimore Museum, the Whitney and MOMA, among others. #paulkelpe #modernart #interiordesign, #artadvisory #artonpaper #kurtschwitters #architectural #constructivist #constructivism #abstractart #geometricart https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDP9edgcqc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
