Modern-abstract art manifested in the world of sculpture
between 1910 and 1920, in America and Europe. Two distinct
styles distinguished abstract images; one being abstract art
which has been inspired by nature and represented in an
unconventional way that looks very different from the real,
and the other, images or art objects which were completely
non objective, meaning they were not drawn from any real
images.Experimentation in art led to further development in the
field of abstract sculpture in Europe and Russia through the
efforts of Dadaists, Volticists and Fututrists and depicted
in the works of Kasomir and Piet.
In abstract sculpture, sculptors were liberated from the
conventional shackles of content and form and experimented
with increased zeal. Brancusi’s famous ‘interpretation of a
kiss’ is one of the first abstract sculptures. Cubists like
Duchamp and Lipchitz took abstraction forward, followed by
Dadaists.
Constructivism in 1915 and De Stijl in 1917 were two
movements which incorporated abstraction into the world of
architecture and sculpture. These were parallel movements.
The constructivist philosophy showed in their creation as
revolutionary, inviting change through the use of modern
graphics, machine technology and photography. They attempted
to give ex-pression to the ambitions and hopes of people
