Movements in art: Suprematism and Constructivism

Discover heroism and hope, chaos and tragedy in some of the most radical and transformational artworks of the 20th Century. Cultural ambassadors from the world’s first attempted Worker’s State, learn how the artists and designers of Constructivism followed their Suprematist forebears, striving to remake the world from its most fundamental aesthetic foundations: colour, line and form.
Drawing out similarities and exploring crucial differences between these two critical and contrasting movements, this course explores how the divergent impulses of mystical idealism and everyday materialism were united in a dynamic and revolutionary exploration of form. From the bold and optimistic designs of El Lissitsky, Nikolai Kolli and Vladimir Tatlin, to the rarefied transcendence of Suprematists like Kazimir Malevich. #arthistory #summerschool #Constructivism #Suprematism #Malevich.
