Beck’s major work is dominated by blues and grays. Clear outlines define a network of concise shapes: irregular squares, rectangles, and a few circles. Although the title suggests a specific motif, the geometric composition is actually more reminiscent of a map or a city plan. Port in the South shows the abstract approach of a major artist from Austria’s postwar avant-garde. The work attests to a tentative departure into modern art, which took it all the way to the documenta in Kassel, the world’s most important art exhibition. Nevertheless, to this day art history often fails to give Beck his due recognition.
