Constructivists gave a very clear answer to this question: art in its old, classic sense was “not to be” they put forward the idea of a new “production art". For the first time, its premises were put forward on the pages of the “Commune Art” Petrograd newspaper (December 1918—April 1919), which printed “leftist” artists who were very enthusiastic about October of 1917.

It was there where its theorists, N. Punin, B. Kushner and 0. Erik,first began to develop the concept of “future art" in an effort to link avant—garde with the social objectives of the new society, to merge it with the life of the working masses. Rejecting “the useless beauty” of bourgeois society, they announced the goal of any art to be the “direct, material creation of things” that were necessary for the daily life of the proletariat and proposed the slogan “Art into Production". Constructivism was initially viewed only as a transitional stage in the chain of “Materialism — Constructivism — Production Art”, as a phase in the movement to
Productionism. However, it quickly turned into an independent direction with its own system of expressive means and methods.
