Description: "Katarzyna Kobro et Władysław Strzemiński were leading figures of the Constructivist avant-garde in Poland. From their radical artistic stance, they worked together to reinvigorate art. While Kobro reformulated the modernist vocabulary of sculpture, promoting it as a form of architecture, Strzemiński developed a new painterly language through his theory of Unism, taking the idea of the organic autonomy of painting to its limits. The pair were close to the reformist movements of Cubist, Suprematist, and Constructivist art, and became members of several avant-garde groups before finally founding their own group, a.r. The work left by Kobro and Strzemiński, two committed artists during a period of great ferment, offers a glimpse of the ideal to which they aspired"--Page 4 of cover.
