Stuart Walker’s Composition No. 6 from 1939 embodies the dynamic forms and innovative spirit of early 20th-century abstract illustration. This vintage work displays an intricate arrangement of geometric shapes and lines that create a sense of movement and depth, characteristic of Walker's approach to modernist design. His skilful interplay of colour, form, and negative space invites viewers to interpret the composition’s rhythm and structure, reflecting an exploration of abstract aesthetics and visual harmony.
