Avant Garde in Russia

Piet Mondrian's tree studies over time experimenting with the latest art movement got me inspired to do the same... it's a good idea and it shows the artists' change of style. It's as if the artist is going through time.
Avant garde in Russia

El Lissitzky... constructionism: art has meaning for state, authority, etc. Practical application. 

photomontage... the modern way of making art. 

montage in cinema... film The Battleship Potemkin. 

Eisentein's Potemkin

Alexander Rodchenko: to go constructivist for design! Creating something for the people, you have moral good.

bars used as graphic elements, with collage, overprinting. generous space.

De Stijl... movement developed in the Netherlands. Utopian approach to aesthetics. utopian society with FUNCTIONAL art. communication design. rectalinial planes, void of surface textures/decorations. no trees, cows, illustration. pure hue color. mathematical structure. universal harmony to use in art. 

Piet Mondrian

Founder of De Stijl: Theo van Deoesburg. Asymmetrical design... universal structures, asymmetrical balance. Data Poems.
