The Art Movements (2013-Present)
Constructivism
A style or movement in which assorted mechanical objects are combined into abstract mobile structural forms. The movement originated in Russia in the 1920's and has influenced many aspects of modern architecture and design. Constructivism held great influences on movements such as the Bauhaus and De Stijl art movements. The term Constructive Art was first used by Kazimir Malevich to describe the work of Alexander Rodchinko. |
Futurism
It emphasized and glorified themes associated with contemporary concepts of the future, including speed, technology, youth and violence, and objects such as the car, the aeroplane and the industrial city. It was largely an Italian phenomenon, though there were parallel movements in Russia, England and elsewhere. Some of the key figures in the movement are Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carra, Bruno Munari. |
Neo-Plasticism
A style of abstract painting, which is also known as De Stijl, which is a Dutch art movement. Leading artists of the movement consist of Vilmos Huszar, Bart van der Leck and Piet Mondrian. Neo-Plasticism encourages pure abstraction and universitalty by reducing everything to basic form and colours, works feature compositions of vertical and horizontal directions, and only consist of Primary colour along with black and white. |
