Briefly about the painting:

Until 1920, Rodchenko mostly created paintings and graphic works, many of which he created using a stencil, compass, and ruler. He created this canvas also not without drawing tools. Most likely, despite the explanatory name, the viewer will not be able to recognize the similarity between certain objects. In general, «non-objective» paintings of Rodchenko appeared not without the influence of Malewicz’s Suprematist ideas. However, as a creator of the series «Black on Black» that he began working on two years earlier and continued by this painting, Rodchenko was an artist, and not just a “painting engineer”.
