Non-objective composition 1917

Alexander Rodchenko's "Non-objective Composition" (1917) is a prime example of the artist's foray into abstract art, a style that emerged as a reaction against traditional, representational painting. The artwork features geometric shapes, including a crescent, a rectangle, and a triangle, rendered in bold colors against a white background. Rodchenko's use of sharp lines, clean edges, and primary colors, coupled with the non-representational nature of the work, clearly demonstrates his commitment to the principles of Constructivism, an art movement that emerged in Russia during the early 20th century. The artist's use of negative space in this work further enhances the impact of the composition, underscoring the concept of pure form and color as a primary source of aesthetic inspiration.
