The text highlights the influence of Russian Constructivism and the Bauhaus movement on abstract art. It also mentions the use of light and motion in kinetic art, exemplified by the works of Hungarian artist Nicolas Schöffer.
Accompanying the article is a black-and-white image of an abstract artwork titled "Proun 12 E" (1920) by El Lissitzky, which is part of the Busch-Reisinger collection. The artwork features geometric shapes and lines, characteristic of the abstract and constructivist styles.
The image displays a two-page spread from a magazine titled "Boston Arts," dated April 1976. The left page features the magazine's title at the top, with "boston arts" written in large, bold, blue letters. Below the title, there is a section labeled "Now Showing," which includes an article about an exhibit at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The article discusses an exhibition titled "Abstract Art in the 20th Century," which runs from April 13 to May 22, featuring works by artists such as Picasso, Mondrian, and others. The text elaborates on the nature of abstract art, emphasizing the pure form and the artist's intent.
On the right page, there is a black-and-white image of an abstract geometric sculpture. The sculpture, titled "Proun 13 E" created in 1920 by El Lissitzky, consists of intersecting planes and shapes, demonstrating the principles of abstract art discussed in the article.

Title: Abstract Art at the Busch-Reisinger
Content:
The article discusses an exhibit at the Busch-Reisinger Museum that opened on April 3, focusing on abstract art movements from the 20th century. The exhibit is divided into three sections:
The exhibit aims to illustrate the evolution and distinct characteristics of abstract art. It emphasizes that abstract art is not merely about the absence of representation but about the purity of artistic form. The exhibition showcases a wide variety of abstract art, including significant contributions from different movements and artists.
The article highlights the importance of Piet Mondrian's participation in the De Stijl movement and the impact of Russian artists like Malevitch and Lissitzky, known for their suprematist and constructivist works. It also mentions the dynamic and experimental nature of these movements, which often grappled with engineering and spatial problems.
Several artists and groups are noted, including:
The exhibit suggests that while the Constructivist movement is well represented, the variety of the "pure form" might not be extensive enough to fully capture its complexity. The article concludes by mentioning that the exhibit includes El Lissitzky's "Proun 12 E" from 1923.
The image accompanying the article features a work by El Lissitzky, specifically "Proun 12 E" (1920), which is an example of abstract art from the Constructivist movement. The artwork consists of geometric shapes and lines, demonstrating the abstract and non-representational style characteristic of the period.
The image is a page from a publication titled "Boston Arts," dated April 1972. The page focuses on an exhibit of Abstract Art at the Basch-Reisinger Museum.
The main article, titled "Now Showing," discusses an exhibit that complements a recent exhibition on Expressionism in the 20th century. The exhibit, which opened in April, features works from three movements: Cubism, Constructivism, and Abstract Art. The exhibit aims to demonstrate the purity of artistic form, where the form exists independently of the artist's intent to represent the subject.
The text highlights that the abstract movement in art is exemplified by works such as those by Malevich and Lissitzky. Lissitzky’s colored lithographs, which display "prisms" and "proun" forms, are particularly noted for their geometric and mechanical tension, suggesting engineering problems. The article also mentions notable works like the "Light-Space Modulator" by Moholy-Nagy, which is described as an experiment in light and space, likely one of the first kinetic art pieces of the 20th century.
The exhibit includes a variety of artworks by individual artists such as Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, and Oskar Schlemmer, among others. The article concludes by emphasizing the exhibit's exploration of the failure of the Constructivist movement and the strength of the "pure form" in supporting itself.
The image on the page is a black-and-white photograph of Lissitzky's "Proun 12 E" from 1920, displayed at the Basch-Reisinger Museum. This artwork exemplifies the geometric and abstract style discussed in the article.
The image is a page from the magazine "Boston Arts" dated April 1970. The page features an article titled "Now Showing" discussing an exhibit of abstract art at the Busch-Reisinger Museum.
The exhibit is described as a complement to their recent show of Expressionism in the 20th century. The museum's upcoming exhibit, titled "Cubism, Constructivism, and Abstract Art," is said to illustrate the attempts to create pure art forms, focusing on the purity of the artistic form rather than its representational qualities. The article mentions that this movement is exemplified by the work of artists like Malevich and Lissitsky.
The text also highlights the influence of abstract art on various groups, including those in Russia, where it is illustrated by the sculptures of Tatlin and the drawings of Malevich and Lissitsky. Lissitsky's "Proun" series, characterized by geometric shapes and dynamic compositions, is noted for its engineering-like tension.
The exhibit includes the work of several artists such as Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Oskar Schlemmer, and László Moholy-Nagy, with the latter's "Light-Space Modulator" being a notable piece. The article concludes by mentioning the Constructivist movement's practical failures but its significant influence on the kinetic art of the 20th century.
The page includes an image of Lissitsky's "Proun 12 E" from 1920, which is displayed at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The overall theme of the article is to highlight the diversity and impact of abstract art forms on the broader artistic landscape.
