The artwork, “Untitled,” created by Lyubov Popova in 1922, is an oil painting on canvas belonging to the Abstract Art movement and falls under the genre of abstract art. This piece exemplifies the avant-garde tendencies of the early 20th century through its utilization of non-representational forms and dynamic composition.
In the artwork, geometric shapes intersect and overlap, creating a sense of depth and movement. Stark contrasts between light and dark areas add to the tension and complexity of the composition. The dominant forms are angular, with sharp lines and flat planes that seem to float within the pictorial space. The use of shading and gradation emphasizes the spatial interactions among these forms. This piece reflects the artist’s engagement with ideas of abstraction and her exploration of the visual language beyond representational constraints.
