Constructivism

Constructivism originated in 1919 in Russia, and was practiced until about 1934. The main idea behind constructivism was the disagreement with the statement "art for art's sake." Therefore, constructivism was used for soocial purposes; such as posters and any communitive portrait. The style incorporated extremely loud colors and symbols, along with very explicit slogans. These objects were used to quickly capture the attention of anyone that glanced it. El Lissitzky was a big user of the constructivist style, as seen in beat the white man with the red wedge(pictured below.)Mayakovsky was also a huge user of the style, creating portraits such as agitrop (pictured above.)
