Constructivism history art

Constructivism is an early twentieth-century art movement founded in 1915 by Vladimir Tatlin and Alexander Rodchenko. Abstract and austere, constructivist art aimed to reflect modern industrial society and urban space. The movement rejected decorative stylization in favour of the industrial assemblage of materials.

Constructivist architecture emerged from the wider constructivist art movement.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, it turned its attentions to the new social demands and industrial tasks required of the new regime.

The movement was conceived of out of a need for a new aesthetic language; one benefitting of a progressive new era in Soviet socialist history.
Constructivism also borrowed elements of other European avant-gardes, notably Cubism and Futurism, and at its heart was the idea that artmaking should be approached as a process of cerebral “construction”.
