Katarzyna Kobro
(1898 – 1951) Rosja – Polska RzeYba abstrakcyjna (1),
1924 szk?o, metal, drewno,
72 x 17,5 x 15,5
Dar grupy „a.r.”, 1932
"Kobro and painter Wladyslaw Strzeminski are two early 20th century art pioneers who created the Unism art movement. In their 1931 book “Space Compositions: Space-Time Rhythm and Its Calculations,” they describe the mathematics of open spatial compositions in terms of a ratio 8:5. They developed the theory of the organic character of sculpture, a fusion of Strzeminski’s Unistic theory of painting and Kobro’s ideas about sculpture’s basis in human rhythms of movement, time-space rhythm, and mathematical symbolism."
Yve-Alain Bois has a chapter on this work in Painting As Model. Never seen it in person.
