A Comparative Study on Naum Gabo and Vladimir Tatlin

Abstract

After the Russian Revolution, a group of progressive artists, part of a mechanism driving communism idealism, were divided into two groups. The first group was Constructivism artists in Russia, who led art to enter political atmosphere. The second group was Constructivists especially those in the West, who avoided politic with a reference to dialectic materialism. Examples of the artists in these two groups include Vladimir Tatlin and Naum Gabo, whose sculptures are of abstract style.
