About the piece

Created in 1912, this work by Mikhail Larionov is a definitive example of Rayonism, a Russian avant-garde movement. The painting decomposes the subject—glass—into intersecting rays of light, using a palette of teal, cobalt, and earth tones to create a sense of vibrant energy and spatial depth. It represents a pivotal moment in the development of abstract art.
