Bauhaus buildings are usually cubic, favor right angles,

they have smooth facades and an open floor plan.

Constructivision - 1919

Tatlin Tower. Model of the Monument to the Third International

Developed 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.

Futurism - 1910

The city Rises - 1910

Umberto Boccioni,

Futurists admored speed, technology, youth and violence, The car, teh airplane and the industrial city.
All that represented the technological triumph of humanity over nature. They were also passionate nationalists. They were extrememly passionate and rebelled against harmony and good taste.
"the smear of madness"
"expression of violent desire which burns in the veins of every creative artist today"
"we rebel against spinless worshipping of old canvases, old statues and old bric-a-brac. Against everything which is filthy and worm ridden and corroded by time"
They praised originality however daring, however violent.

This painting feature what was at the time a modern urban scene in the background. Although put to the back of the painting and cornered with little detail, it seems to be the main part of the painting. Everything else seems to be flowing from it in a sea of force and intension. The artists thick and violent brush strokes show fast movement and represent determinatio, passion and the anticipation of futur events.
