The artwork titled “Akt” was created by Oskar Schlemmer in 1922. It belongs to the Constructivism movement and is categorized within the figurative genre. The artwork was produced during a significant period of artistic experimentation and urbanity.
The artwork depicts a stylized human form rendered in Schlemmer’s distinctive Constructivist style. It is characterized by geometric abstraction, with simplified shapes and lines outlining the figure. The use of vertical and horizontal lines creates an orderly and balanced composition, reflecting the principles of Constructivism. The figure itself exhibits minimalistic yet expressive detail. Subtle curvatures and linear configurations converge to form an abstract representation of the human body, emphasizing both functionality and aesthetics. Schlemmer’s signature and the date of creation appear in the upper right corner, completing the composition on an understated, neutral background.
