Constructivism
by Celtiberian Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:32 am
Apart from Socialist realism and futurist art, I've always found constructivism captivating, particularly the architectural designs associated with the genre.
The Vesnin brothers' "Narkomtiazhprom" (1934)
The Vesnin brothers' Arcos Building draft (1925)
Vladimir Shukhov's "Shukhov Tower" (1922)
Leendert van der Vlugt's Van Nelle Factory (1925)
Ilya Golosov's Zuyev Workers' Club (1926)
Vladimir Tatlin's "Monument to the Third International" (1919)
George Chakhava and Zurab Jalaghania's Ministry of Transportation (1977)
Sergei Serafimov, Mark Felger, and Samuil Kravets's Gosprom Building (1925)
S. V. Savin and B. I. Artiushin's Research Institute of Robotics and Technical Cybernetics (1973)
Konstantin Melnikov's Soviet Pavilion (1925)
(An appropriate song to browse the photos and drawings with.)

I've always thought these were especially beautiful designs, but for the life of me, I can not remember the name of the Russian gentleman who drew them although it was at one time firmly in my mind. Perhaps someone can help me with that. It is a shame none of these were actually built.
Don't exactly know if it fits the bill as "Constructivism", but lovely Socialist architecture nonetheless.

Those were designs by Yakov Chernikhov, who was indeed a Soviet constructivist. Here are a few more of his drawings,

Fantastic work. Constructivism is a fascinating form of art. Far superior to the Randian art-deco style.
