Label Text:
Rodchenko started his career in the ornamental and stylizing aesthetic environment of Symbolism and the World of Art. This drawing stands at the beginning of the artist’s new orientation toward experiments with purely pictorial elements. It is one of a series of nonobjective compass-and-ruler drawings in which he explores the expressive possibilities of mechanically created lines and their relationship to flat areas of black or color. The interplay of white and black areas creates a dynamic effect and an ambivalent interchange of positive and negative forms and spaces.
