Constructivism is an early twentieth-century art movement of Russian Futurism founded in 1915 by Vladimir Tatlin and Alexander Rodchenko. Abstract and austere, constructivist art aimed to reflect modern industrial society and urban space. The movement rejected decorative stylization in favour of the industrial assemblage of materials. Constructivists were in favour of art for propaganda and social purposes, and were associated with Soviet socialism, the Bolsheviks and the Russian avant-garde.

Constructivist architecture and art had a great effect on modern art movements of the 20th century, influencing major trends such as the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements. Its influence was widespread, with major effects upon architecture, sculpture, graphic design, industrial design, theatre, film, dance, fashion and, to some extent, music.

This oversized book contains full page replicas of several hundred posters from the period, each with captions for category, artist, title, and year. The posters are from a wide range of categories such as film, theatre, exhibitions, fairs, political, propaganda, commercials, magazines, newspapers, and much more.
