Louisiana poster featuring the work, Untitled, (1930), by Danish artist Franciska Clausen (1899-1985). The work here became part of Louisiana's collection after a generous donation of constructivist art from the American McCrory Collection. The donation followed in the years following Louisiana's 1978 exhibition of McCrory's collection – the only known overview of the art form at the time.

Franciska Clausen was among the first artists to introduce constructivism in Denmark in the 1930s, along with Robert Jacobsen and Richard Mortensen, among others.

Constructivism has its roots in Russia, where the avant-garde wanted to renew the artistic idiom after the Russian Revolution. With their art, the Constructivists joined the new breakthrough that was manifesting itself politically and socially. The artist, like the engineer and the scientist, was supposed to build a new and better world.

The design language had a geometric starting point. The expression was to be rational, objective and utilitarian. The Constructivists distanced themselves from any depiction of the seen, the emotional and spontaneous and instead created their own reality.

In parallel with the development of constructivism in Russia, experiments with the constructivist idiom were taking place in Europe. The Dutch artist group de Stijl and the Bauhaus school in Germany found inspiration in the Russian constructivists.
