A geometric abstract design by Sophie Taeuber-Arp, 'Projet pour l'Aubette' features a minimalist composition of primary colours and geometric shapes, reflecting the artist's Constructivist principles.

This abstract composition by Sophie Taeuber-Arp is titled 'Projet pour l'Aubette', suggesting it was a design proposal for the Aubette building in Strasbourg. Taeuber-Arp, a Swiss artist and designer associated with the Dada movement and later Constructivism, was known for her geometric abstractions and her work across various media, including painting, sculpture, textiles, and interior design. She collaborated with her husband, Jean Arp, and Theo van Doesburg on the Aubette project in the late 1920s, creating a radical and controversial avant-garde entertainment complex. The artwork features a minimalist arrangement of geometric shapes. A blue square is positioned in the lower-left corner, connected by a brown horizontal line to a red, elongated U-shape in the upper-right. The composition is executed with precision, the lines clean and the colours flat. The design reflects the Constructivist principles of simplicity, order, and the use of basic geometric forms. The colour palette is restrained, consisting of primary colours (red and blue) and brown against a white background, creating a sense of clarity and balance. The work exemplifies Taeuber-Arp's exploration of abstraction and her integration of art into everyday life.
