I found this on Pinterest via saatchionline.com. I chose this piece because of the different shapes Doesburg creates with his brush stroke and his use of color clashing to make it a very together piece. I liked that the piece is created in half-red, half-blue colors then combines them in the face of the zebra. The use of lines horizontal to vertical stripes makes this pattern feel to the piece. I also thought that the background along with one of the layers of the zebra does not have the lined brush strokes because the contrast helps with the idea of pattern which shows some abstract art influence. Doesburg's other oil paintings play with color a lot, they also have a mystical quality to them that this piece has. It could be part of what the artist was influenced from in the Netherlands and was trying to portray in this work.
