Art Into Life: Russian Constructivism 1914-1932

Art Into Life: Russian Constructivism 1914-1932, published by Rizzoli in New York in 1990, accompanied what was then the first comprehensive exhibition of Constructivism drawn from both Soviet and Western collections, organised jointly by the Ministry of Culture of the USSR and the Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington, in association with the Walker Art Center. The exhibition travelled to the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow between 1990 and 1991. The book, credited to the Henry Art Gallery with Richard Andrews and Milena Kalinovska, brought together an introduction and seven essays by Soviet, European and American scholars giving an overview of Russian Constructivism and its influence on art history beyond the Soviet Union. It traces the Constructivist ambition to bring art into everyday life through Russian painting, sculpture, graphics, collage, posters, clothing and building design.
