Composition 1917

Alexander Rodchenko’s 1917 “Composition” is a prime example of the artist’s Constructivist style. The artwork is comprised of geometric shapes in bold, contrasting colors, creating an abstract composition on a white background. These features represent Rodchenko's rejection of representational art and his exploration of form and color as the primary elements of artistic expression. The composition suggests a dynamic interplay of geometric forms, echoing the sense of dynamism and progress that was central to the Constructivist movement.
