// Between Green by Günter Fruhtrunk is a 1970 screen-print that exemplifies the artist’s bold approach to geometric abstraction and Op Art. The composition features alternating vertical stripes of vibrant red, green, and black, arranged in varying widths. The contrast between the intense colors and the stark black background creates a rhythmic visual impact, drawing the viewer’s eye along the lines and generating a sense of movement. Fruhtrunk’s work often explores the interaction of color and form to produce optical effects, and this piece is no exception, with the repetition and color contrast giving it an almost pulsating quality. The print invites viewers to experience color as a dynamic force, embodying the principles of kinetic art.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
