Γραμμική Σύνθεση is a 1921 by Ivan Kudriashev, held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
This drawing is full of straight lines and sharp angles. The black lines cross each other in every direction. Some areas look darker where the lines pile up. It’s part of a small wave of Russian art that tried to turn light into shape. Artists at the time read science books and drew art that felt like energy, not just objects. This one feels electric because of the way the lines hum. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use layered lines for shadows.
