Working as a graphic designer and poster artist for a ball bearings company, the artist used organic shapes and chromatic patterns that contained the rudimentary elements of the optical and structured geometric themes that would eventually follow.
The thrust of modern architecture has been a rigorous concentration on buildings whose rhythmical arrangement of masses and shapes states a geometric theme in light and shade.

A geometric theme continues in two other beautiful current exhibitions - but the math is a little less obvious, although in many ways much more intriguing: On MoMA's second floor you will find a concise but thoughtful exhibition sampling of the work of Jackson Pollock and around the corner, the blockbuster show of sculptures by Pablo Picasso.
