constructivism
constructivism Russian
abstract art movement founded in
c.1913 by Vladimir
Tatlin. Other leading members were the brothers Naum
Gabo and Antoine
Pevsner. Influenced by
cubism and
futurism, their sculptures were less purely abstract than Tatlin's geometric constructions and attempted to relate to contemporary technology. From 1921 the Soviet regime condemned the movement, and Gabo and Pevsner left Russia. Through them, and other exiles, constructivism spread and influenced modern European architecture and sculpture.
