“Vertical and horizontal composition” is a notable artwork created by Sophie Taeuber-Arp in 1928. The piece is associated with the Constructivism art movement and falls within the abstract genre. The artwork features a balanced interplay of vertical and horizontal elements, using rectangles and squares in a palette of muted colors punctuated by vibrant reds and blues.
In the artwork, three distinct panels are presented, each containing a combination of geometric shapes arranged meticulously to convey harmony and structure. The rectangles and squares are primarily in shades of gray, beige, and white, interspersed with more attention-grabbing red and blue blocks. The careful arrangement of these shapes creates a rhythmic yet orderly composition reflective of Constructivist principles.
