Preliminary sketch for the Triadic Ballet (1919) by Oskar Schlemmer

The artwork titled “Preliminary sketch for the Triadic Ballet” was created by Oskar Schlemmer in 1919, belonging to the Constructivism art movement. It is classified as a sketch and study.

This artwork appears to be a conceptual drawing, featuring a simplified human figure stylized in a mechanical and geometric form, characteristic of Constructivist aesthetics. The figure’s body is composed of various basic shapes such as circles, triangles, and ellipses, arranged to mimic human anatomy. The use of muted colors and clean lines further emphasizes the abstract and geometric nature of the piece. The sketch showcases Schlemmer’s unique approach to integrating art, design, and performance, particularly in his experimental and influential ballet choreography.
