The artwork titled “Composition,” created by artist Alexander Rodchenko in 1917 and located in Moscow, Russia, measures 40.2 by 35.5 centimeters. It falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork presents an array of geometric shapes that overlap and intersect in a dynamic composition. There seems to be a central structural formation composed of rectangular and square forms, with a large circular form intersecting it. The color palette includes red, blue, yellow, and varying shades of brown, intermixed with segments that appear to provide depth and shadow, giving the abstract shapes a sense of three-dimensionality. The piece’s angular forms and contrasting colors are characteristic of the abstract movement in which Rodchenko was a significant figure, expressing the artist’s exploration of space, shape, and color relationships devoid of figurative representation.
