Constructed Head No. 2

At the Nasher Scupture Center - Dallas

 

Constructed Head No. 2 exemplifies the revolutionary approach to sculpture Naum Gabo pioneered in the 1910s as part of the Constructivist movement in Russia. To express the technological ethos of the new century, Gabo drew upon principles of engineering for his light-weight, honeycombed structures. These works open up inner form to light, space, shadows, and reflections, minimizing solidity of mass and surface.
