What painting am I thinking of?

I’m semi picturing a painting, it’s modern art, kind of looks like a map, bright colours on a white background, I feel like I’ve seen postcards of it before in art galleries.
Any ideas?

Something by Kandinsky?

Or Matisse’s snail?

Something by Mondrian?

Mondrian or Klee maybe?

A Mondrian?

Ozgirl75 · 09/11/2022 08:38

I actually think maybe I’ve conflated a Haring style one with a Mondrian - I’m picturing something with those bold black lines, but more like a map with colour as well.
You know when it’s at the periphery of your brain and you can’t quite grab the image!?!

Miro?

Ozgirl75 · 09/11/2022 08:44

None of these are quite it, I might have to go about my day and see if my brain can work it out in the background.

Others have beat me to suggestions of Mondrian and Miro.

Something in the Bauhaus style maybe?

(I'm loving this very cultured variation on "what TV actor/80s pop song am i thinking of?" 😁)

Milton Auscherman? He has some that look like city maps.
www.saatchiart.com/ has lots.

I was going to ask what kind of map. Tube map kind of bright colours? OS map?

ehb102 · 09/11/2022 10:22

Brice Marden was the other artist who has abstract lines but they are wavy and I haven't seen one that is bright colours on white.

Well firstly I’m thrilled with looking at all this art, I love modern art, pop art, all these contemporary forms. I’m going through them all to see if I can find the one I’m thinking of!

I’m not sure it even is a map I’m thinking of. Goddamn brain!

I've been sitting looking through Paul Klee after suggesting him as I couldn't remember the name of the one I was thinking of.

It's Rich Harbour I was thinking of. It definitely reminds me of a map but if you're not sure of a map now we can just have fun searching through all the art and artists mentioned so far and hopefully you'll find it!

@ShinyPikachu that’s the one! It’s not a map, but it has a kind of map like quality that makes my brain file it under map.
Thank you!

Oh yay! Im so glad I could help. 😁

I never get these things when it's people/TV/movie questions so I wasn't actually expecting to get this either. 😂

Passerillage · 09/11/2022 11:36

That's incredible that someone got it! All the points to @ShinyPikachu !
