construction work

Construction Work, a 1913 painting by Olga Rozanova, is part of the Samara Art Museum's collection. Measuring 1.1 meters in width and 0.915 meters in height, the artwork depicts a bustling construction scene. The style is Cubo-Futurist, characterized by fragmented forms and overlapping planes that create a dynamic and energetic composition. Figures, possibly workers, are rendered in shades of grey and brown, their actions implied rather than explicitly shown. The background includes buildings and a suggestion of landscape, rendered in a similarly abstracted manner. The overall effect is one of movement and activity, typical of the artist's style.
