Deutscher Werkbund which is founded in Munic in the 1907 was an organization which was mostly done to ameliorate the designs of the products which are through the joints effort of the artists, craftsmen and withal manufacturers where the bellwethers were Peter Behrens, Theodor Fischer Hermann Muthesius and additionally Fritz Schumacher.
We withal can visually perceive that in the year 1914 there was an organization which was made for a major exhibition in Cologne. In this exhibition we could optically discern building which were done by Gropius, Taut, and withal Van de Velde but apart from these buildings we could withal optically discern a debate which it was commenced bu Muthesius who argued about the industrialization design but then Van de Velde verbalized about the ingenious artists and withal craftsman.
Werkbund decided to move away after the war in the 191-18 where it moved away from the arts and crafts position and went to the modern kineticism which was a clear journey Die Form design which was publishes in the 1925 and stayed published till the 1934. In the 1927 we can visually perceive that an exhibition was held which was in Stuttgart and was under the director ship of Mies van de Rohe which he included some influences in the design which were additionally by Le Corubusier, Oud and Stam. There we more exhibitions that were held in Paris during th year of 1930’s and additionally in Berlin in the year 1931 where then it had to disband in the 1934.

Constructivism- 1917- 1935


Constructivism is a movement which evolved in the year of 1917-1935 which comes into the 20th Century. Constructivism is mostly referred to the primarily Russian art, design and also architecture. Cubism and also Futurism was also inspired from the Russians. Some artist that took part in the constructivism were Vladimir Tatlin , Kasimir Malevich, Alexander der Rodchenko.  We also can see two particular artists which are Wassily Kandinsky and also Nikolai Suetin. Constructivism  is  based  more  on like  a  modern design because  when we see the designs  of the  constructivism  they  look very common to  nowadays  designs.  The materials that were used in the constructivism movement were modern materials such as the porcelain. There were two publications of the manifesto  in the 1920 which  were The Program of  the Group of  Constructivists which  was  by Alexei  Gan, Varvara Stepanova and  Rodchenko and  also A Realistic Manifesto  which  was  by  Pevner and Gabo. 





                                                             Constructivism in my  opinion  it  is  based  in  graphic  design and  also the colors  used  in the  constructivism  movement  is  red which  red  is  a  primary  color.



Wassily Kandinsky  who was  a designer and an  artist  in  constructivism  has created  a  design which  is called coffee cup and saucer which  this  product  was  designer  for  the porcelain factory in Petrograd in the 1921. 






Nikolau Suetin also  was  a  designer  and an artist  in the  constructivism  movement who designed the writing set which  this  piece  of  art  was  designer  for the state  porcelain factory  in Petrograd in the 1923. This  piece  of  art  is  a  piece  that  it  can be  used but  you  can  also  decorate  with this  piece  of art. 


Constructivism  looks  modern  so I  think  that  nowadays  it  still  can be  a  famous  movement because  the techniques  that are  used  on this  pieces  of art  are  modern and  the  colors  are  still  be  seen  nowadays  with the  bright  red  color  in white  and  also  with  some bold  re d straight  lines  I  see it  that constructivism  have some  of  the  De Stijl  movement  because  of  the  colors  and  also because  of the  lines  that  we see  on  the  designs and also  the  cubism. 
Comments: Most of the products we see in the constructivism are  based  more  on  3D design  and  products such as  the  pictures  seen  above which they are  the  coffee cup and saucer and also a decorative piece  of art.
