'Composition' exemplifies the Poetism movement's embrace of Abstract and avant-garde principles, originating from Czechoslovakia's Devětsil group. The painting's energetic forms and vibrant colors convey an optimistic, emotional outlook inspired by Poetism's focus on everyday life and the present moment. Although primarily associated with its literary branch, Poetism extended into visual art, emphasizing a lifestyle that values spontaneity and proletaristic ideals. Like Abstract art, the work avoids conventional realism, instead capturing the dynamic essence of modern life, aligning with the movement's spirited, apolitical philosophy.
