The artwork, titled “Construction (Crucifixion): Homage to Mondrian,” was created by Barbara Hepworth in 1966. It falls within the Abstract Art movement and is categorized as a sculpture.
The sculpture features a composition of geometric forms, incorporating rectangles and circles in varying sizes. The color palette is reminiscent of Piet Mondrian’s work, employing bold primary colors—red, yellow, and white—contrasted against black. These elements are arranged symmetrically, evoking a sense of structured harmony. Set against an outdoor backdrop, the artwork stands on a pedestal, framed by nature, juxtaposing the rigid geometry with the fluidity of the organic environment. The meticulous alignment and interplay of shapes pay tribute to Mondrian’s iconic style while simultaneously embodying Hepworth’s sculptural elegance.
