“Relief rectangulaire,” created by Sophie Taeuber-Arp, is an abstract artwork that aligns with the Constructivism art movement. The piece features a composition of geometric shapes, meticulously arranged to form a harmonious and visually engaging structure.
The artwork is characterized by a white rectangular base adorned with various circles and semicircles in an array of vibrant colors including blue, yellow, red, white, and black. The circles and semicircles are thoughtfully positioned, creating a sense of rhythm and balance. The simplicity of the geometric forms combined with the contrasting hues exemplifies the principles of Constructivism, focusing on functional, non-representational art. The arrangement of shapes projects a three-dimensional quality, giving the impression of depth and movement within the confines of the flat surface. The meticulous use of color and form in “Relief rectangulaire” reflects the artist’s commitment to abstraction and geometric harmony.
