Scope note
Refers to the style and movement, conceived by Mikhail F. Larionov in 1909, representing one of the first steps in the progression and development of abstract art in Russia. The style is reminiscent of Futurist and Cubist works and is governed by the emphasis on spatial forms obtained through the interactions of reflected rays from an object's surface.
