  8. Modern ArtModern Graphic Design Europe after World War IDe Stijl and Constructivism

  9. World War I shocked the world. The conflict caused artists to rebel against pre-war styles. The conflict caused new trends in graphic designDutch De Stijl and Russian Constructivism were inspired by Cubism. Artists thought that individuality and ego had lead to war. Geometric, abstract design was the new Universal style. Modern Art: De Stijl and Constructivism

  10. Modern Art: De Stijl Slide #1“The Cow” Theo van Doesburg 1916 De Stijl started in the Netherlands. It was based on an idea of universal harmony and rejected excess and decoration. See how the non-objective painting is based on objects from nature? The second step shows how De Stijl is based on cubism. Non-Objective Art: doesn’t have a relationship to the natural world. It is totally abstract.

  11. Modern Art: De Stijl Slide #2“Tableau 2” Piet Mondrian1922

  12. De Stijl Slide #3“Delft Salad Dressing” Bart van der Leck1915Van der Leck was a graphic designer. Designed this poster for factories in Delft. He took a drawing and started filling in the negative spaces with primary colors, then erased the outlines. Sacrifices legibility for styleWas rejected by the Delft factory that had commissioned it.

  13. Modern Art: Russian Constructivism World War I = the fall of the Russian imperial government. Two competing groups of citizens tried to take control. This lead to the Bolshevik Revolution (1917)Organizations tried to oust the Bolsheviks, leading to Russian Civil War (1918-20)The Bolsheviks establish the Communist state as a kind of utopia. Communism – property and success are owned equally by all citizens. Utopia- a place or state of mind where all things are perfect

  14. Modern Art: Russian Constructivism “Dobrolet” Alexander Rodchenko 1923 To support their new utopian government, Constructivists renounced fine art. They wanted to serve the cause of the workers, so began using industrial materials. They designed workers clothes, government buildings, and propaganda posters. This is first ever example of branding in Russia. Branding- images, colors, and fonts that are associated with a particular company.

  15. Modern Art: Russian Constructivism “The Constructor” El Lissitzky 1924 Photomontage was just being developed in Russia. Russian artists were technically innovative, and loved technology. They found ways to combine text, photos, and drawn images meant to startle people away from being passive Photomontage- cutting out parts of photos and gluing them back down in a different order
