Subject Treatment #2

Geometric Non Objective Composition:  (Another version of this study, Concert in Blue Flat Minor has since been completed in Collage.) The study is considerably different than the finished collage piece.

Some depth is implied in this image at  the sides, seen in the diagonal lines,
but the keyboard image appears to be be from a point of view directly above. Contrast
between black and whites seen as stripes or piano keys draw attention.

The vertical and horizontal shapes give the composition structure. Lighter areas carry the eye throughout the composition. Blacks at the edges tend to balance the whole.
