Architectural Analysis 1923

Theo van Doesburg's "Architectural Analysis" (1923) exemplifies De Stijl, an artistic movement emphasizing geometric abstraction and primary colors. This black-and-white ink drawing explores spatial relationships through overlapping geometric shapes, creating a dynamic, almost architectural composition that suggests an imagined built environment. The artwork's simplified forms and stark lines evoke a sense of order and harmony, reflecting the movement's pursuit of universal aesthetics.
