Description

A silk women's kimono with a modern motif.

  • The Russian Constructivists held that art should serve a social purpose, which for them was the revolution. Beginning in 1919, it became the leading philosophy in all aspects of Soviet art, design and culture. Given its roots in Cubism and its pervasive influence on modern art movements of the 20th century, it is not surprising that the style also appears in Japanese textile designs of the period.
  • With its striking zigzag pattern, one can see the similarities between this kimono and the patterns used by important textile designer Lyubov Popova, as well as the packaging designs of the era.
