Productivist art
Productivist art was an approach to art developed by a group of Constructivist artists in post-Revolutionary Russia. They sought to ensure that art should have a practical, socially useful role as a facet of industrial production. The group formed to contradict Naum Gabo's assertion that Constructivism should be devoted to exploration of abstract space and rhythm.
Aleksei Gan led the group which included Alexander Rodchenko and Varvara Stepanova and focused on applied arts.
Productivist art became the prevailing aesthetic and artistic practice of such proponents as Kazimir Malevich, El Lissitzky and Liubov Popova designed furniture, textiles, clothing, ceramics, typography, advertising and propaganda, as well as theater set design.
Boris Arvatov published Art and Production in 1926, which was a major summation of the principles of productivist art.
