Label Text:
The image of the airplane attracted many twentieth-century artists and poets, especially the Futurists. A traditionally Futurist mentality dominates this work, which combines collage with linocut and figurative with abstract elements. A schematic city appears in the largest rectangular element of the picture, while the figures of an airplane and a man floating (or flying) are printed on smaller rectangles and affixed to the supporting sheet. Abstract colored shapes complete the composition. Rozanova created this sheet as a collage for each of the portfolios. While they are similar in composition, they are not identical.
