Art/Literary - Furniture / Household Appliances / furniture, chairs, tables | | Italian term or phrase: d'ispirazione elementarista | | Context: Dopo aver ridisegnato la stanza di lavoro di XXXX nel biennio 1921-23 XXXX ottenne due incarichi che gli permisero di continuare la sua ricerca sui caratteri percettivi dello spazio. Si trattava della ristrutturazione della gioielleria xxxxxxxxxx ad Amsterdam e dello studio medico del dottor xxxx a Maarsen. Nel primo caso massima attenzione fu assegnata al disegno della vetrina, pensata come una composizione plastica di volumi con l’aggiunta di una gamma cromatica d’ispirazione elementarista nei serramenti e in alcuni elementi costruttivi. Nello studio del dottor xxxx la messa a punto del dispositivo spazio-colore si rivelò efficacemente nel grande cerchio rosso-arancio che xxxx dipinse sulla parete a destra della scrivania. |
