Constructivism
Constructivism was an artistic and architectural
movement in Russia from 1914 onward (especially present after the
October Revolution), and a term often used in modern art today,
which dismissed "pure" art in favour of art used as an
instrument for social purposes, namely, the construction of the
socialist system. The term Construction Art was first used as a
derisive term by Kazimir Malevich to describe the work of Alexander
Rodchenko in 1917. Constructivism first appears as a positive term
in Naum Gabo's Realistic Manifesto of 1920.
