Post #13 — Reading and GRQs — Arson and Mansfield Modern Art Excerpts

It is rather interesting how different variants of modern art were developed over time. Constructivism, for instance, was first used by Russian artists as a term for Cubist-based art. Curiously, it was was a concept for wood and stone sculptures. Carvings of wood and/or stone, to be more precise. Vladimair Tatlin was seen as the "Father of Constructivism," as he was a founder of Russian Constructivism. Counter-Relief (1915) and Model for Monument to the Third International (1919) are some of Tatlin's best Constructivist works. Counter-Relief is an interesting piece, built in a corner and held up by strings nailed into each wall, consisted of carved wood and iron attached together. Model for Monument to the Third International is a spiral tower with a slightly crooked framing, which is comparable to the structure of Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa.
