The term of constructivism refers to a movement primarily in Russian art, design and architecture. Prior to the WW1, the Russian avant-gard, like their European counter-parts, were imspired bu cubism and futurism. After the 1917 revilution, however, th Russian avant-gard sought new forms of expression that related to the Sovirt desire to supplant the capitalism system with more democratic schemes for the production and distribution of goods. To this end, artists such as Vladimir Tatlin,Kasimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko and Wasily Kandinsky began promotion an aesthetic and approach to design that was allied to industrial prouction.
Constructivism is very optimistic style of art referring to the optimistic, non-representational relief construction, sculpture, kinetics and painting. The artists did not believe in abstract ideas, rather they tried to link art with concrete and tangible ideas. Early modern movements around WWI were idealistic, seeking a new order in art and architecture that dealt with social and economic problems. They wanted to renew the idea that the apex of artwork does not revolve around “fine art”, but rather emphasized that the most priceless artwork can often be discovered in the nuances of “practical art” and through portraying man and mechanization into one aesthetic program.
