Seated Female Nude, her Hand on her Head
Van Doesburg described in a letter that he had attempted ‘to introduce rhythmical movement in the torso and create a flat sense of space through lines and planes’ in this work. The drawing was the result of ‘further abstraction,’ by which he meant reducing the subject-matter to elementary forms. As for his colleague Mondrian, for Van Doesburg this was the path to a new, universal art.
