Lyubov Popova,Composition, oil
Lyubov Popova (Russian, 1889-1924), “Composition”, c. 1921; oil/wood panel; 9.5" x 7", signed, dated; remnants of labels verso. Popova was a foremost member of the Russian avant-garde, and contributed substantially to the style known as Cubo-Futurist abstraction. She was interested in “painterly architechtonics”, and her work, primarily from 1916-1920, maintains a balance of rigid lines and soft gradations of color, arranged in a dynamic rotation within the composition. Her work was banned by the Soviets after her death in 1924. REF: Constuctivism and the Geometric Tradition, (The McCrory Corporation Collection).
