Constructivism, written by Russian artist and designer, Aleksei Gan, and The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism 1909 written by Italian poet, Filippo Marinetti, both have written an extensive manifesto of their movements. Aleksei Gan believed that since most people are joined through labor, technologies’ of individual branches of production would form a united social technology, accurately and concretely. Constructivism took artists and architects, and turned them into Constructors. This caused them turning away from aesthetic or speculative problems in art and instead focusing on the fusion of art with everyday life in order to create the desired functional system of design. Filippo Marinetti Futurism movement questioned why people should look back in time for reference, when they can break down the mysterious doors of the impossible. Marinetti’s movement strictly involved young men, as they disregarded everything learned from the past. Aside from their differences, both movements represented socialism, communism and fascism during their time periods. Aleksei Gan, essentially believed that artists should break off with their theoretical activity of art, and take action of their knowledge and skill for a true living. He was aware of the proletarian republic, and how they fought against the bourgeois, but it was not successful. Therefore, art was finished, and artists did not have a place in the labor apparatus. Gan transformed artists and architects into constructivists, to stay intact with the communist society. In contrast to Filippo Marinetti, togetherness was key, but in a different manner than the constructivists. Marinetti’s Futurism was comprised of finding a newly discovered beauty in the speed from the latest technology, and revolting together against the past. Constructivists dissimilarly wanted society from all branches to come together as a whole to employ labor workers with intellectual work. As far as revolutions go, Aleksei Gan and Filippo Marinetti’s manifestos thrived towards revolutionizing their idealized societies.

Marinetti along with his futurist friends believed that their country Italy, has been living in the past for too long. Their solution was to free Italy from the “boring” past. Marinetti’s Futurism manifesto revolted against the old, considered museums as cemeteries, and pushed freedom upon themselves from professors, archaeologists, and antiquarians. It also condemned old moralities in favor of logic as well as feminism. The futurism revolution was composed of the positive appraisal of youth, speed, and violence and was very anarchistic. In contrast, the Constructivism author Aleksei Gan stated how Russia has become the world’s first proletarian republic. It has become a territory of labor and intellect, allowing no space for speculative activity. The bourgeois encirclement was forbidden by the constructivists to twist their intellectual work though. Gan’s ideology for constructivism was the reassessment of purposes for human activity with the combination of every effort from the broad range of social objectives. Aleksei Gan and Filippo Marinetti both favored a communist society, displaying their works for publicity in their country. I agree at a greater extent with the beliefs of the manifesto, From Constructivism, by Aleksei Gan. He was reasonable with the choices that he made in his movement, by taking artists and architects to be constructivists to belong in the communistic society of the time. There was not any work for artists during this time period, so I believe
