Tatlin Tower. Model of the Monument to the Third InternationalDeveloped from cubism and italian futurism.
Constructivists didnt want to create Art for Arts sake. They wanted their art to have social purpose.
It was a response to changes in thechnology and contemporary life, it advocated a change in the art scene, aiming to create a new order in art and architecture that referenced social and economical problems.
Tatlin's sculpture favours simple shapes like alot of constructivists did. The metal materials used depict the dominance of the machine in the modern world and its triumph over nature.
