This non-representational image was produced by Karel Maes as a linocut for the Belgium publication Het Overzicht. The edges of the circular forms, shaded rectangles, triangles and lines of various thickness butt neatly against one another, as though making best use of the available space.

Maes regularly featured in Het Overzicht due to his interest in geometric abstraction. The periodical operated from 1921 to 1925, with the aim of showcasing more radical, avant-garde ideas that expanded the audience’s understanding of art.
