The artwork titled “City Traffic” was created by Theo van Doesburg in 1929 in Germany using pencil on paper. It is a piece aligned with the Constructivism art movement and is abstract in genre. The dimensions of the artwork are 62.5 by 62.5 centimeters.
The artwork features a meticulous arrangement of geometric forms, composed of intersecting lines and shapes that imply a structural, almost architectural complexity. The repeating patterns and the precision of the lines convey a sense of order and dynamism, emblematic of the Constructivist style. The rectilinear and angular forms are meticulously drafted, creating a visual representation that conjures images of urban planning and modern architectural facades. The artwork’s monochromatic palette, restricted to the graphite lines on paper, emphasizes the intricacies of its design and the clarity of the linear patterns.
