description

Mediums: cardboard, watercolor, gouache, graphite.
Location: the Sepherot Foundation Collection, Vaduz (Liechtenstein).

Geometrism in this Suprematist work appears in its laconic elementary form – in the form of vertical lines of different widths and flowing into each other in some places. The color movement stated in the title is obvious due to the rhythmic alternation of white, gray, red and black stripes. The main wave in a small offset from the center of the product is formed by the widest and continuous red element surrounded by light details. Red seems to be gradually gaining acceleration from left to right and optically approaching the viewer.
