Composition (The Cow) 1917

Theo van Doesburg's "Composition (The Cow)" is a small, intimate drawing of a cow in profile, created in 1917. The artist, a prominent figure in the De Stijl movement, used a series of bold, sweeping lines to capture the cow's form, emphasizing its dynamism and structure. Van Doesburg's simplified approach is characteristic of his work and exemplifies the movement's embrace of geometric abstraction and functionality. The artwork is a testament to the artist's exploration of form and his ability to capture the essence of a subject with minimal detail. "Composition (The Cow)" is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
