Old school style- A new language of form

*edited*

Cubo futurism was the term for cubism and futurism in Russia. This was the movement against czarist Russia. Suprematism was founded by Kasimar Malevich. This is a style of basic forms and pure color or an elemental geometric abstraction. Maevich opposed old art and the conservative ways of old art. But not everyone had the same view as Malevich. Most artists turned towards the view for industrial design and making posters. Such artists include Vladimir Tatlin & Alexander Rodchenko. Next, was Prouns a painting style introduced and developed by Lissitsky, a style that introduced three dimensional illusions

this is an example of Prouns i think this style is very interesting because it is abstract and it catches your attention it just pops out at you. (other artists explored with typography and color but did not have the structure as Lissitsky but they did use bold imagery)Lissitzky eventually led the russian revolution in 1917 to make artists and designers have a connection between art and technology. When Lissitzky moved to Europe he got to experiment much more with new media. his framework for books became an architecture framework for organizing the 48 page illustrated portfolio.

It was in 1917 in the Netherlands when the De Stijl movement was launched. Which focused on abstract geometric style. A painter during this time was Mondrian who focused on geometric abstraction and moved away from Cubism. he used primary colors with neutrals and straight lines and flat planes limited to rectangles and squares. here is an example of his work at the top.

I find it interesting that in this chapter the evolution of styles becomes more simple. you start off with cubism that has many planes then you have De Stijl which focuses on one plane with Straight lines with primary and neutral colors.

Question: Why did the De Stijl style die when Mondrian died?
