About the piece
Painted in 1914, Ivan Kliun's 'The Clockmaker' is a premier example of Russian Cubo-Futurism. The work blends the analytical fracturing of Cubism with the Futurist obsession with machinery and time, deconstructing the figure into a sophisticated interplay of earth-toned planes, gears, and numerals that suggests both the person and their craft.
