History and Characteristics of Constructivist Art

Constructivism was a radically new movement in art, which started in the Soviet Union. This influential idea spilled over the Russian borders into Paris, Germany, London, and the USA. This Buzzle articles records constructivism art history and characteristics to make it easier for you to understand this movement.

Changes in the Movement Although Constructivism made headway into the fields of visual art such as sculpture work and painting, the movement nursed the ambition to increase mass production because of which artists explored decorative and applied arts. As a result, the Higher Art and Technical Studios trained its pupils in such art forms, which brought back the lost interest in decoration of ceramics and textile. Ilya Chashnik came up with special ceramics that were composed of abstract two-dimensional forms while Stepanova explored textile design that had bold planes of color and stroke elements. El Lissitzky and Rodchenko earned recognition for their graphic design and typography, which employed bold letters, bold colors, and diagonal elements.
