✨ Visionary sculptor and painter #NaumGabo was born #OnThisDay in 1890. Gabo believed in the power of art to communicate across social and cultural boundaries. A pioneer of international Constructivism, he created work responding to the ideas, materials and technologies of the 20th century. A method known as 'stereometric construction' was central to Gabo's work, by which form was achieved through the description of space rather than the establishment of mass. In 1920, Gabo said: 'we take four planes and we construct with them the same volume as of four tons of mass.' He used this law to construct heads and figures that demonstrated this. 'Head No.2', seen here, is one of the most dramatic of these models, shown at @TateStIves in Gabo's major exhibition in 2020.
