In the first decades of the twentieth century, world art underwent a dramatic change of direction. The pathos of industrial progress and increasing urbanization led artists to seek new harmonies, which connected previously antipodal categories such as aesthetics and technology, art and utilitarianism, beauty and use. The way for the birth of constructivism, which took place in a number of countries in the 1920s, was paved on the one hand by the crisis in art and on the other — by the introduction of technicism. However, while European masters viewed this process as a natural consequence of art’s formal evolution, the transition to constructivism in Russia was boosted by the revolution, which significantly affected the consciousness of its theorists and practitioners, who began interpreting artistic problems in close connection with the radical turning point in the life of the nation.
