In 1924 Polish artist Henryk Berlewi held an exhibition of his early abstract works, which he called mechano-faktura, in an automobile salon of Austro-Daimler in Warsaw. Mechano-faktura, a concept Berlewi developed in 1923, reflects his artistic goal: to systematize a graphic vocabulary into an inventory of simple repeatable units, which could be combined and recombined to create abstract analogies of various modern phenomena. In this process Berlewi used the logic of industrial processes, and by choosing an auto salon as a venue for his programmatic exhibition established an analogy between his artistic process and the assembly line of automobile production.
