A movement with origins in Russia, Constructivism was primarily an art and architectural movement. It rejected the idea of art for arts’ sake and the traditional bourgeois class of society to which previous art had been catered. <\/span>Instead it favored art as a <\/span>practise directed towards social change or that would serve a social purpose. Developing after World War I, the movement sought to push people to rebuild society in a\u00a0Utopian<\/a>\u00a0model rather than the one that had led to the war.<\/span><\/p>\n The term\u00a0construction art<\/i>\u00a0was first coined by\u00a0Kasmir Malevich in reference to the work of\u00a0<\/a>Aleksander Rodchenko<\/a>. Graphic Design in the constructivism movement ranged from the production of product packaging to logos, posters, book <\/span>covers and advertisements. Rodchenko’s graphic design works became an inspiration to many people in the western world including\u00a0Jan Tschichold<\/a>\u00a0and the design motif of the constructivists is still borrowed, and stolen, from in much of graphic design today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
