Spatial Composition II 1928

Katarzyna Kobro, a Polish avant-garde artist, created "Spatial Composition II," as part of a series of sculptures exploring space and form. Kobro developed her unique approach to art during a period of intense social and political change, marked by World War I and the Russian Revolution. Kobro, as a woman in the early 20th century, challenged the male-dominated art world through her radical artistic ideas. She strived to create abstract art that reflected universal harmony and social progress. Her personal experiences of war and displacement shaped her vision of art as a means of building a better world. The artwork's geometric shapes in white, blue and black express a vision of space as dynamic and infinite. Kobro's sculptures invite us to experience space not as a static backdrop, but as an active element of our existence. Her work encourages viewers to reflect on their own place in the world, and to consider the potential for creating a more just and equitable society.
