Head No. 2 1916

"Head No. 2" (1916) is a sculpture by Naum Gabo, a pioneer of Constructivism. This piece showcases Gabo's exploration of abstract form and geometric construction. The sculpture, made of metal sheets, is assembled into a simplified, angular representation of a human head, emphasizing the essential planes and volumes of the subject. Gabo's work in Constructivism sought to break free from traditional representational art, pushing boundaries and focusing on the inherent beauty of materials and geometric structures.
