“Non-objective composition” is an abstract artwork created by Alexander Rodchenko in 1917, located in Moscow, Russian Federation. The artwork measures 78 cm in height and 50.8 cm in width.
This particular piece by Rodchenko exemplifies abstract art in its pure form, which aims to break away from traditional representation of physical objects. The composition features a variety of geometric shapes intersecting and overlapping in a complex arrangement. Hues of blues, greens, and browns are juxtaposed with sharp lines of orange and smaller accentuating lines, creating a sense of depth and movement within the flat plane of the canvas. The work is marked by its use of geometry and color to convey spatial relationships and visual dynamics without representing any identifiable forms from the natural world. The artistry lies in the composition’s ability to evoke a visceral, aesthetic response rather than to depict a scene or object.
