This screen print from 1972 is a striking example of Guy Vandenbranden's constructivist and geometrically abstract visual language from the early 1970s. The composition is built from sharply defined diagonal and cube-like volumes in contrasting fields of purple-gray, black, white, and intense orange. The subtle perspective shifts and the tight rhythm of the lines create a spatial tension that is characteristic of his body of work.

Vandenbranden was a central figure in Belgian geometric abstraction and was active within the international networks of concrete and constructivist art. His work aligns with the tradition of Art Abstrait and post-war constructivism, and is represented in major public and private collections. Graphic works from this period are particularly valued for their clear color handling and the technical perfection of the silkscreen.

This sheet was issued as part of the Great National Prize for Art Screen Printing, a high-quality Belgian graphic arts publication with a limited edition. The edition consists of only 60 copies; this is number 17/60.
