Construction (Klucis)

The National Museum of Art, Riga (Latvia).

Ink on paper.

By compositional solution, this work made in the style of constructivism belongs to the series “City Dynamics”. Here, the globe is depicted more conventionally and collage elements are completely absent. The harmony of the whole composition is achieved by the impeccable proportions of modern buildings under construction, as well as an extremely balanced colour scheme. Gray and pastel-ocher tones, combined with clear lines directed outside the circle, create both depth and dynamics.
