“O. T.(Croisement de droites, plans)”, an abstract artwork created in 1942 by artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp, is associated with the Constructivist art movement. This composition exemplifies the abstract genre through its use of geometric lines and shapes.
The artwork features a complex arrangement of intersecting black lines, juxtaposed against two prominent colored planes, one red and the other blue. The black lines crisscross in various directions, creating an intricate web that stands in stark contrast to the solid colored shapes. The red plane is positioned towards the upper section of the artwork, while the blue plane occupies the lower right quadrant. This interplay of shapes and lines demonstrates the principles of Constructivism, emphasizing geometric abstraction and spatial relationships. The minimalist color palette and structured composition reflect the artist’s commitment to exploring form and structure in a pure, abstract manner.
