Sketch of Scenery for the Opera 'Valkyrie' 1929

Alexander Khvostenko-Khvostov's 1929 drawing, "Sketch of Scenery for the Opera 'Valkyrie'," is a striking example of Constructivism. The artwork features a geometric composition of lines, planes, and a cylinder, showcasing a simplified, abstract representation of a stage set. Its use of geometric forms, linear perspective, and tonal shading, emphasizes the artist's exploration of space and form. This sketch, created for Richard Wagner's "Die Walküre," provides a glimpse into the dynamic world of Russian avant-garde stage design.
