The Constructivist Movement, founded in 1913 by Vladimir Tatlin, was developed from Cubism, Italian Futurism and Suprematism in Russia as well as Neo-Plasticism in Holland, and the Bauhaus School in Germany.

Constructivism is used to define non-representational relief construction, sculpture, kinetics, and painting. It was one the first movements to adopt a strictly non-objective subject matter. The movement’s work was mainly geometric and precisely composed, sometimes through mathematics and measuring tools.

Constructivists favored the basic shapes of squares, rectangles, circles and triangles. They used an array of materials including wood, celluloid, nylon, Plexiglas, tin, cardboard and wire which was generally welded or glued together.

The term “Neo-Constructivism” reflects the natural progression of the movement; a study of the increasingly complex and diverse shapes and materials in the modern world.
