Russian constructivism came about after the end of world war 1. The Russian Artists started the movement looking for a more peaceful, compliant and reasonable outlook. The work was carried out with solid objects but no real understanding of a representation. Majority of the work was industrial in nature. Artists used harder grade materials like steel, hard plastic, wood and stone.
Some of the artists from this era are as listed:
Main Representatives: Alexander Rodchenko, Liubov Popova, Vladimir Tatlin, Olga Rozanova, Alexandra Exter, Naum Gabo, El Lissitzky, Antoine Pevsner, Kasimir Malevich and Alexander Vesnin.
Bauhaus
Bauhaus is a German word and it described a school of design established by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919, best known for its designs of objects based on functionalism and simplicity.Bauhaus School bought together all the great architects and artists in the day. Most of them German. The Nazi's didn't agree with what they were doing because they had many Russian artists invovled in the school.
The scool bought the design, sophistication and a real place amongst the art elite in America and Europe. Many artists were attached to the school but were kicked out of the country because of their affiliation with the movement.
Bauhaus brings artists together fine arts and crafts to modernise engineering through art, expression and to look at simplicity as the next modern adventure.
