Geometric abstraction arrived after many decades of figurative painting where sensitive images of detailed landscapes, and portraits of pompous characters where featured in many paintings. This fundamental change consisted in the use of simple geometric figures (squares, circles, triangles) combined inside subjective compositions that lived inside surreal spaces. There was no reference to the real world, only fictional, utopic scenarios as if the goal was to say that painting is something that simply one does. It was born as a reaction towards the excess of subjectivity of the visual artists of previous movements in an attempt to distance themselves from the purely emotional. Abstract geometrical art tried to be precise, sticking to the rules of nature and science.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBuzon painted in oil or acrylic directly on board or canvas and always framed with an old distressed antique style frame.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA wonderful juxtaposition and surely by the hand of an artist whose star is set to rise.","brand":"Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52562613240088,"sku":"2515","price":490.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5800\/5784\/files\/emilebuzongeometric1.jpg?v=1787572692","url":"https:\/\/doeandhope.shop\/products\/a-20thc-french-school-geometric-abstract-painting-by-emile-buzon-c-1970-80","provider":"doeandhope.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
