Vladimir Tatlin, Piet Mondrian

The constructivism movement began with artist Vladimir Tatlin in 1913. Tatlin was a Soviet architect and painter, and he constructed three-dimensional “counter-reliefs” of wood and metal. His intention was to question the traditions of art. His main constructivist work was the Monument to the Third International (Tatlin’s Tower), which joined the dynamic components of technology with the aesthetics of machines. This construction included searchlights and projection screens, and it was criticized for being a combination of functional items and art. This tower sparked an exchange of ideas between Russia and Germany on the ideas of revolutionizing art.

The main artist from the de Stijl movement is Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. He sought to create pure abstractions with horizontal and vertical lines, as well as primary colors. He wanted to reduce his artwork to the most basic elements, using them to represent the essence of the energy and forces of nature. The pure abstraction and minimal palette was meant to express an ideal and universal harmony in the art world. His idea of neoplasticism, which guided his work, relied on color, line, and form to express universal ideas.
