Constructivism

Active from 1915 – 1930, Constructivism emerges in the wake of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the activities leading up to it. For a few years, artists seek to create a brand new style of art that reflects this utopian government system.

during my first ever survey of western art class, my professor explained the difference between historians and art historians. historians, she said, were interested in old things. art historians, on the other hand, were interested in old things of quality. you don't hang garbage up on the walls of a museum; it has to be substantial and it has to mean something. so here you go; old things, made mostly by dudes long dead, of debatable degrees of quality but always with a constant level of importance. think of this as a deck of flash cards... sans the whole cards part.
