History of Design: From Suprematism to De Stijl

I am interested in the transformation of the different art movement. From the movement Suprematism, Constructivism to De Stijl. 

Suprematism 

The year 1915 to 1925 

The movement plays with the geometric style as well as playing with spaces to form an abstract art painting which was inspired by cubism and futurism. The artist did not use photos for all his design as he believes that it does not represent what he wanted to create. He wanted purely abstract art. His artwork has the social and political ideology of the state using form and colours.

Constructivism 

The year 1913 to 1930

The art movement was inspired by the geometric shape inspired by the suprematism. However, the idea of Socialist realism was to remove and a different new art was produced. The art movement reflects the modern and industrial world. It tells the story of science than artistic expression. It influences architecture, design, fashion and mass production objects. 

In the past, the design was flat. The artist invented positive and negative space and play with depth and texture.

De Stijl 

The year 1917 to 1931

Later on, the De Stijl art movement took over, it was a dutch style of pure abstraction which uses geometric shape but mostly rectangles. The artist wanted to create a universal visual language that frees the nationalism that led to war. The art movement uses grid lines and primary colours. There are meanings behind vertical and horizontal lines. He uses this element to represent meaning.
