Nejad Melih Devrim - "Composition Abstrait"
FROM NEJAD'S PARIS PERIOD WORKS...
Paris and 50's: Since 1953 Nejad produced lots of big canvas paintings; some on black backdrop, long before Lanskoy some on white backdrop. Like precious blackstones or like a kaleidoscope sparkling flair of colors and light are dispersed all around this dense standstill. In the meantime on white canvas light comes out of red, yellow, purple, orange are sucked in by the taint cold hues of blue and green. Nejad is a color specialist. He plays with them like a musician plays with his notes. Besides canvas material he plays with color, light and creates life. As he takes care of transparency and the vibration of light his brush strokes become lighter. It’s almost impossible not to remember Goethe’s study on the clash of colors. “A German poet says that colors are movement of light. The movement is their passion’’. Nejad practised this thought successfully on his canvases between 1950-1960.
