Keywords: Constructivism

Summary/Abstract: Osińska describes the work of Alexander Rodchenko and Varvara Stepanova in the context of their biographies, their social, political and technical circumstances, and the artistic atmosphere of the era. She notes that the artists’ lives were very integrated with the concept of constructivism they advocated. She also stresses the strong influence that their work had on the next generation of artists. The author draws attention to the fact that some projects were only able to be carried out many years later, due to technical reasons. Stepanova and Rodchenko’s collaboration with Meyerhold constitutes an important part of the article.
