About Private house, model, seen from the west

The artwork, titled “Private house, model, seen from the west,” was created by Theo van Doesburg in 1923 in Germany. This piece is associated with the Constructivism art movement and falls within the genre of design.

The artwork exemplifies the Constructivist style through its abstract geometrical form and the use of interlocking planes, creating a complex and dynamic composition. The structure features a series of overlapping, cubic volumes, with various protruding elements that give it a three-dimensional, almost puzzle-like appearance. The interplay of light and shadow on the faceted surfaces emphasizes the depth and structure of the model. The choice of a monochromatic palette in the depiction adds to the focus on form and spatial relationships, which are central to the Constructivist aesthetic.
