About This Artwork

Durchgehender Strich by Information, created in 1923, is a significant exploration of modernist formal concerns. The work was produced during a crucial period of intense artistic experimentation in Central Europe, coinciding with the rise of constructivism and the ongoing development of geometric abstraction following the First World War. This piece, whose title translates to "Continuous Line," suggests an emphasis on the primacy of the unbroken stroke and its potential to define space and movement without relying on traditional illusionistic techniques.

Information’s dedication to elemental structure marks this composition as a strong example of early 20th-century formalism. This work currently resides in the distinguished collection of the Kunstsammlung NRW, where it contributes to the museum's comprehensive holdings of European avant-garde art. Due to the age of this masterwork, it is anticipated to enter the public domain in the coming years, ensuring that high-quality fine art prints are increasingly accessible for researchers and collectors worldwide. The composition remains a key example of how artists grappled with fundamental questions of line and structure in the post-war era.
