“Construction AL6,” created by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy around 1933, utilizes oil and aluminium mediums. This abstract artwork is a representation of the Constructivism movement.
The artwork exhibits a geometric composition characterized by an array of circles and angular shapes. The dominant colors in the piece are subdued tones of black, white, red, and blue, which are meticulously arranged against a light background. Two prominent triangular shapes in red and blue, filled with white circular patterns, occupy the lower left quadrant of the canvas. Above these triangles, a collection of black and gray circles of varying opacities and sizes appears to float and interact dynamically, creating a sense of movement and spatial depth. The use of aluminium adds a reflective quality, enhancing the interplay between light and forms within the composition. The overall design reflects the principles of Constructivism, emphasizing geometric abstraction, modernism, and industrial materials.
