This remarkable volume, published in 1937, offers a comprehensive survey of the pioneering Constructivist movement in art and architecture. Edited by the esteemed artists Ben Nicholson and Naum Gabo, it features a wealth of illustrations showcasing the groundbreaking works of artists like Aleksandr Rodchenko, El Lissitzky, and the editors themselves. The Constructivists rejected traditional representational art in favor of abstract, geometric forms intended to reflect the modern industrial age. Their innovative use of materials like glass, plastic, and metal revolutionized the art world and influenced everything from graphic design to architecture. This copy, though showing signs of its age, remains a valuable artifact documenting a pivotal moment in 20th-century art and design history. For collectors and enthusiasts, it offers a rare glimpse into the minds of the visionary artists who dared to reimagine the boundaries of their craft.
