{"product_id":"after-constructivism-9780300195774","title":"After Constructivism","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Constructivism emerged shortly after the Russian Revolution  its central principles concerned structure and efficiency in the work of art and the nature and properties of materials. In a series of eight essays  Brandon Taylor examines the origins of these principles and their extraordinary consequences for the rest of modern art. Even before Constructivism  structure was a vital ingredient in Cubist art. After it  ideas about faktura or the madeness of an art objectand about its rational organizationbecame stock-in-trade for De Stijl in Holland and Art Concret in France and bore decisively on other currents such as Surrealism and abstract art. After 1945  artistic movements including Systems  Kinetic and Minimal Art were all touched by the long reach of Constructivist ideals. Recent art has proved no exception. Taylor shows that casual attitudes to materials  even the collapse of Constructivist ideals  have helped form the artistic tenor of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45953263992885,"sku":"ByrdShop_030019577X","price":78.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300195774.jpg?v=1788183417","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/after-constructivism-9780300195774","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
