A list of works by K. Medunetsky and the Stenberg brothers.
In January 1922, the Stenberg brothers and K. Medunetsky held an exhibition of their works titled "Constructivists" at the Moscow "Cafe of Poets." They prepared a catalog with a manifesto for the exhibition, in which the artists declared traditional art as illegal and referred to constructivism as the "greatest springboard for leaping towards a universal culture." It was at this exhibition that the term "constructivism" was first voiced, and Alexey Gan's manifesto "Constructivism" was later published in the summer of the same year.
