Constructivism is the most recognizable direction of Russian avant-garde. Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich are loud names, but as a style, Constructivism beats them all. Moody posters and collages in red-black-beige, social and Agitpop slogans, minimalist angular shapes — all together they build up a style that made so much for modern design.
