Constructivism

Constructivism was the last and most influential modern art movement to flourish in Russia in the 20th century. It evolved just as the Bolsheviks came to power in the October Revolution of 1917, and initially it acted as a lightning rod for the hopes and ideas of many of the most advanced Russian artists who supported the revolution's goals. It borrowed ideas from Cubism, Suprematism and Futurism, but at its heart was an entirely new approach to making objects, one which sought to get rid of the traditional artistic concern with composition, and replace it with 'construction.' Ultimately, the movement foundered in trying to make the transition from the studio to the factory. Some continued to insist on the value of abstract, analytical work, these artists had a major impact on spreading Constructivism throughout Europe. Meanwhile, others pushed on to a new but short-lived and disappointing phase known as Productivism, in which artists worked in industry. Russian Constructivism was in decline by the mid 1920s, partly a victim of the Bolshevik regime's increasing hostility to avant-garde art.
