KASSÁK, Lajos
(1887, Érsekújvár - 1867, Budapest)

Picturial Architecture

1922
Oil on cardboard, 28 x 20,5 cm
Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

Kassák was already convinced in the 1920s and the rest of his life that constructivism would become a comprehensive style. As an indomitable apostle of avantgarde, he considered that reduced formal esthetic colour and form architecture were highly modern. In this composition, the blue arched form entered the neoplastic order of vertical rectangles. Richness in colours did not produce a higher intensity of "Picture Architecture". The picture cannot be compared with other tipograhic works of the same time.
