Vertical Construction

Created in 1923 by M. H. Maxy, Vertical Construction exemplifies the Abstract art movement that emphasizes form and structure over representational content. Maxy, a pioneering figure in early 20th-century modernism, employs elements of Cubism to explore spatial relationships through geometric shapes and overlapping planes. The title suggests an exploration of upward movement and architectural form, reflecting a disciplined approach to composition and balance. Maxy’s technique integrates fragmented perspectives and a rigorous arrangement of vertical elements, resulting in a dynamic yet harmonious piece that captures the essence of constructed abstraction.
