The "constructivist movement" Constructivism
One of the most important artistic movements, which includes cubism,
supermatism, and futurism, which are trends consistent with its rejection of
natural realism, and its pioneers took a goal for them, which is to achieve
what is temporal and spatial to represent real life. This is evident in their
saying: (We abandon a thousand years of deception in art, which absorbed
static rhythms as elements specific to classical and Roman arts only. As
for us, we emphasize a new element of kinetic rhythms as basic forms
Therefore, the constructivism was based on several main principles to
achieve this sensory equivalent of the ideas that the mind built around
metaphysical energies and delusional movement, the most important of
which are:
-To reach the reality of life, it is necessary for art to be based on two basic
elements, which are time and space, “the emptiness.” In this, Gabo says:
(The actual reality is the time and space that fill the monopoly of real life.
If art wants to capture this life, it must link these two elements.
-Using the elements of energy and movement to express the truth and the
nature of time. Static rhythms alone are not sufficient and that
transparency and depth must occupy a place in the artwork.
-Not to resort to natural representation or imitation and seek to give a
clear vision of the reality of existence, not only that of aesthetic activity,
but of mental activity as well, that is, that real pleasure combines the mind
and sense, and then the need to pay attention to the geometric elements and
their mathematical formulations in the artistic work.
-Determining the frameworks and directions of the process of analyzing
and installing the parts on the basis of studying the basic structure that
controls the essence of building the technical work with the aim of
developing and upgrading the functional relationships that link the work
parts among them. 5- Discovering the energies and essences behind the
building with its various structures, which are related to each other, in
addition to the union of the elements of time and place, which loses the
work part of its static presence and pours it into a dynamic existence that
interacts with the spatial medium in which it lives
