Constructivism was an avant-garde artistic and architectural movement that emerged in Russia during the early 20th century. Led by artists such as Lyubov Sergeyevna Popova and Alexandra Alexandrovna Exter, constructivism aimed to break away from traditional forms of art and design, embracing a new aesthetic that celebrated technology, industry, and social progress. One notable example of this movement is Popova's "Space Force Construction" from 1920-1921. This artwork showcases her exploration of geometric shapes and bold colors, creating a dynamic composition that reflects the energy of modernity. Similarly, her "Architectonic Painting" demonstrates her interest in merging painting with architecture, blurring the boundaries between these two disciplines. Exter also made significant contributions to constructivism through works like "City, " which captures the bustling urban environment with its vibrant colors and fragmented forms. Her "Colour Rhythm" further exemplifies her innovative approach to composition by incorporating abstract elements into representational scenes. The influence extended beyond visual arts into architecture as well. The house designed by architect Konstantin Melnikov in Moscow embodies the principles of this movement with its geometric shapes and functional design. In addition to their individual artworks, both Popova and Exter were involved in set design for theater productions. Exter's illustrations for Maquettes de Theatre showcase her ability to create visually striking stage designs that embrace the spirit of constructivism.
