Counter-Composition of Dissonances XVI (in Dutch: Contra-compositie XVI) is a painting by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg, from 1925. It hangs in the Kunstmuseum Den Haag, in The Hague.[1]
Counter-Composition of Dissonances XVI is the eleventh in a series of counter-compositions, which Van Doesburg started in 1924. It was originally called Counter-Composition of Dissonances XI. The current title derives from Van Doesburg's book Unique studies for Compositions, where all the preparatory studies of his counter compositions were listed, and this appeared as the sixteenth.
