The artwork entitled “Composition (the month of May)” was created by Vladimir Tatlin in 1916. This piece belongs to the Abstract Art movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork showcases a dynamic arrangement of geometric shapes and overlapping planes, executed in a variety of colors including reds, blacks, and earth tones. The forms are both angular and slightly curved, intersecting one another against a subtle wood grain background. A prominent feature of the piece is the red rectangular form with the word “Май” (May) inscribed on it, emphasizing the central theme. The composition is balanced yet complex, typical of Tatlin’s abstract style. The layering of shapes and use of color create a sense of depth and movement within the abstract, two-dimensional space.
