Naum Gabo

Naum Gabo, born Naum Neemia Pevsner, was a Russian and American constructivist sculptor and theorist who lived from 1890 to 1977 and was a key figure in the Russian avant-garde and the subsequent development of twentieth-century sculpture. His work combined geometric abstraction with a dynamic organization of form, in small reliefs and constructions, monumental public sculpture, and pioneering kinetic works using new materials such as nylon, wire, lucite and semi-transparent glass and metal. He elaborated many of his ideas in the Constructivist Realistic Manifesto, issued with his brother the sculptor Antoine Pevsner in 1920, and his Kinetic Sculpture of that same year is often considered the first kinetic work of art.
