23 x 28cm 199pp near fine exhibition catalogue with colour reproductions showing the works of the ground-breaking Russians. Rodchenko and Popova were pioneers of the art movement known as Constructivism. They considered themselves engineers rather than artists in the traditional sense, and aimed to contribute to the redesign of everyday life. Constructivist art abandoned the galleries for the streets. Artists directed their energies at crockery and textiles, propaganda and cinema posters, book jackets and newspaper kiosks.This shift from two dimensional paintings to three dimensional sculptures went hand in hand with the entry of art into everyday life. Constructivist artists sought to leave behind flat picture planes and static images in order to access a mobile and multi-faceted world inspired by films, carnival floats, clothing and badges.Withc olour reproductions.

For the first time, the issue of gender in the Constructivist movement is explored in-depth, with the artists’ extensive network of colleagues and collaborators considered in the discussion. Extensively illustrated with striking examples of the artists’ work, including previously unpublished works, Rodchenko and Popova is a comprehensive account of their creative development, from their movement through different mediums to their passionate rejection of “art for art’s sake.” Published to accompany a major exhibition at Tate Modern, this is an indispensable guide to a fascinating period in art history.
