British Constructivism developed the ideas of ‘constructivism’ and ‘constructive art’ brought to the West in the 1930s by Naum Gabo and supported and extended by British artists Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth.

Constructivism at that time highlighted the importance of orderly and geometric composition, simplicity and lack of decoration in art. 

Victor Pasmore, Kenneth Martin, Mary Martin and Anthony Hill are the key figures associated with British Constructivism. Many common concerns of these artists included geometrical abstraction, the connection of art and architecture and a common interest in the processes and materials of construction.
