“Construction” is an artwork by Alexander Rodchenko, a significant figure in the Constructivism art movement. The genre of this artwork is design, reflecting the principles and aesthetics of the Constructivist movement.
The artwork features a dynamic and abstract composition, characterized by geometric shapes, strong lines, and a sense of architectural design. Various angular forms in hues of red, black, and yellow converge in a way that suggests an intricate, yet structured, construction process. The incorporation of text and symbols, along with the prominent use of a clock, adds elements of both functionality and modernist aesthetic typical of Constructivism. The minimalist color palette and the precision of lines emphasize the Constructivist intent to merge art with industrial and social relevance.
