Theo van Doesburg's "Study for Rhythm of a Russian Dance" (1918) is a small-scale pencil sketch that embodies the geometric abstraction of De Stijl, the Dutch art movement he co-founded. This preliminary study is characterized by the use of straight lines and rectilinear forms, emphasizing a reduction of visual elements to their basic components. This approach was crucial to the movement's exploration of pure form and its rejection of representational imagery.
