Im currently writing a paper on naum gabo and his relation to constructivism and furthermore, how they followed Jurgen Habermas's theory of modernity... I am wondering if you would know of any other writers or writing artists whose philosophies or theories agree with habermas's 'Modernity - An incomplete project'. Im trying not to let you write the paper for me!!! The actual title is 'how did Gabo and his contemporaries embrace modernity in the form of constructivism?'. Basically, i am looking for Contemporaries of habermas whos thinking align. |

Not sure that you will find this comment helpful, but I'm rather puzzled how you can involve Habermas directly into a discussion of constructivism and Gabo. Constructivism as an art movement flourished in the immediate post-Russian Revolutionary period, and was more or less over by the end of the 1920s (though Gabo certainly continued constructivist-type works for many years after). But Habermas wasn't born until 1929, and didn't publish "Modernity - an Incomplete Project" until 1980, after Gabo had died. Moreover, as far as I can see, Habermas though certainly an advocate of rationality - as were the constructivists - doesn't have much to say about art. (Are you sure you're not getting confused between two uses of the word "constructivism" - in art and in phlisophy/learning?) |

Hi, i'm writing the essay at the moment, i would be happy to send you a copy. You are right that constructivism flourished in that period but it was certainly not over by the 1920s... Most importantly was Gabo's publication with ben nicholson and Leslie Martin that was 'Circle'... This involved many artists, writers and architects involved in the constructivism/post-constructivism and suprematism areas (amongst others)... With respect to habermas, i am using the benefit of hindsight to reflect on the similarites in the social theory held between constructivism and Habermas' modernity... hope thats a bit clearer... Oh and yes, this is an essay based form an artists point of view so i am referencing the art definition... are they not quite similar though in essence...? |

And Habermas did split society into three division science, morality and art... |
