Gabo studied medicine, natural science and engineering at Munich University. At that time he had the opportunity to hear Heinrich Wolfflin's lectures on art history which, it is said, prompted the discovery that he had interest in both science and art. In 1917 after his return to Russia he made an active commitment to the avant-garde movement. Gabo considered line to be one element of construction, and worked as if he were creating something as elaborate as woven fiber. This sculpture, composed of translucent plastic line, was begun towards the end of the 1930s. |
