About this work

This drawing is a tangle of black lines on white paper. Some lines are straight. Some are bent. They cross and loop without a clear shape. Rodchenko used these lines to test how art gets built. He thought lines were like bones for every drawing. They hold up the picture even when you can’t see a face or a tree. Look up Rodchenko, Aleksandr (1891-1956) to see how he turned simple strokes into big ideas.
