Russian Constructivism

Russian Constructivism was an artistic and architectural movement that emerged in the 1920s after the Russian Revolution. It emphasized functionality, abstraction, and a focus on modern materials and technology, rejecting traditional aesthetics. Artists and designers aimed to create a new society by integrating art into everyday life, advocating for art's role in social change. Constructivist works often featured geometric shapes, bold colors, and a sense of movement, reflecting the dynamic spirit of the era. Key figures included Vladimir Tatlin and El Lissitzky, who sought to unite art with industry and serve the needs of the socialist state.
