Alexander Rodchenko’s *Objectless Composition* from 1918 is a prime example of Constructivist art. The artwork is characterized by its minimalist composition, employing a limited palette and geometric shapes to create an abstract form. Rodchenko used a palette of black, brown, green, blue, and red against a pale, off-white background, with bold black lines cutting through the geometric forms. The work rejects traditional representation, instead focusing on exploring the fundamental elements of design, like line, shape, and color, resulting in an abstract composition that emphasizes the inherent beauty of form.
