The artwork, titled “Model of mansion,” was created by Theo van Doesburg in 1923 in Germany. It belongs to the Constructivism art movement and falls under the genre of design.
The artwork depicts a meticulously crafted architectural model, characterized by its geometric precision and abstract form. The mansion model is composed of interlocking rectangular and cubic volumes, assembled in a streamlined, horizontal fashion, embodying the principles of Constructivism. The structure is minimalist, emphasizing purity of form and function, eschewing decorative elements. Each component in the model demonstrates an adherence to a grid-like spatial organization, suggesting a harmonious relationship between the parts and the whole. The stark contrasts between light and shadow further accentuate the dimensionality and sculptural quality of the design, reflecting van Doesburg’s visionary approach to architecture and design.
