"Composition" exemplifies the Abstract style within the Poetism movement, an avant-garde Czech approach rooted in the Devětsil association. The painting emphasizes emotional and optimistic expression through simplified forms and vivid colors, reflecting Poetic ideals that focus on everyday life and the present moment. While primarily associated with literature, Poetism also promoted a distinctive lifestyle emphasizing spontaneity and positivity. The work's lack of punctuation and focus on real, proletaristic themes align with Poetism's goal to create accessible, lively art that transcends traditional boundaries of Surrealism and Abstract art.
