- "Космический корабль - спутник "Восток" с человеком на борту поднялся в космос и, совершив полет вокруг Земного шара, благополучно вернулся на священную землю нашей Родины - Страны Советов!" Великая эпоха открытий и индустриализации.
We had a lot of trouble too, art history books usually briefly mention it, Russian Constructivism by Christina Lodder was probably the best we found. TH-cam has a couple of other videos as well. Sorry it was like 4 years ago I did the project so I can't remember it all!
Very nice visuals, but they could have been tied to specific representation a bit more than they were. At times you have this perfect marriage of the abstract with real concepts (the wheels, trains, tunnel), while other times it becomes essentially random, seemingly not representing anything but the shapes themselves.
That's because this belongs to one of the artistic movements of the early 20th century: Futurism, featuring lines, machine dynamism, signs, letters, urban live. There also might be some cubism in it given other "random" shapes (cubism features geometrical shapes). This work by Theodore Ushev may or may have not been influenced by various artistic movements (Maybe even expressionism).
This piece is almost like an unofficial anthem for the USSR era. "Stronger, higher and faster! Equality, factories, science!" - and then it collapsed, along with its ideals. There is currently a terrible emptiness in the Russian psyche where those used to be. I hope that Americans will not live to see the day when their own ideals collapse as well. Corrupt as things are in the US now, the day when the powerful will not even feel the need to pretend to abide by those ideals will be terrible.
Hi Esther, Could you please help me out with references on constructivism? I'm working on a presentation and unable to access any significant resources for the same. any e-resource would be a great help. thanks

Осторожно, после этой композиции могут быть острые приступы желания построить социализм.
Soviet Futurism at it best. Simply Masterpiece
Спасибо, твое упоминание клипа BAWHER помогло мне сдать экзамен)
Sad But True
О прив!
Почему грустно то
Ой он развалился
очень давно видел подобный клип на 2х2, теперь вот нашёл наконец
Extraordinary! Amazing! Fascinating! KLASS!

БЫСТРЕЕ! ВЫШЕ! СИЛЬНЕЕ!
3:41 В конце всё развалилось.

В программе "ЗАГАДКА ДЫРЫ"!
Exceptional! Probably one of the best animations ever, as I love construktivist stuff. This could easily pass as a Foetus video (the music too!)
a masterpiece
Phantastic!
It is said Theodore Ushev was inspired by Tatlin's Tower, the huge un-built monument of Soviet Times. A crazy Soviet dream spinning out of control.
That song is just unbelivable. Is there a link on youtube ?
It is "Time, Forward!" by Russian composer Georgy Sviridov
@Misantropist Music theme called Time, Forward! by Georgy Sviridov from the 1967 film Time, Forward!
Wow. It's like Kandinsky meets Fischinger meets Duschamp!
Thanks! Found the book. Its a life saver :P
@fixer20 It's actually written for the movie, but then used by the Channel One.
