This important exhibition catalogue surveys the development of Polish Constructivism between 1923 and 1936, focusing on the three closely related avant-garde groups BLOK, Praesens and a.r. It brings together painting, sculpture, graphic design, typography, architecture and theoretical texts, documenting a crucial period in the formation of modern art in Poland. The catalogue includes material relating to artists such as Henryk Berlewi, Katarzyna Kobro, W?adys?aw Strzemi?ski, Henryk Sta?ewski, Mieczys?aw Szczuka and Teresa ?arnower, as well as architects and writers associated with the avant-garde. The publication is particularly valuable for its extensive visual documentation of a movement in which abstraction, geometric form, architecture, functional design and new artistic theories were closely interconnected.
