The artwork, titled “Design for an exhibition poster for ‘La Section d’Or’,” was created by Theo van Doesburg around the year 1920. It belongs to the Constructivism art movement and is a poster measuring 65 by 62.5 centimeters.
The artwork features bold, geometric lines and a monochromatic palette dominated by black text on a beige background. The typography is heavily stylized and abstract, reflective of Constructivist principles. The words are arranged in a grid-like pattern, contributing to the overall sense of order and structure. The text translates to convey information about an international exhibition for “La Section d’Or,” a collective related to Cubism and Neo-Cubism. The meticulous arrangement and impactful use of typography emphasize the constructivist ideals of form and function.
