El Lissitzky, Aleksandr Rodchenko and Filippo Marinetti all predicted that art and design would move in the direction of new and innovative. Straying away from what was already done. These three artist were innovators themselves. They all strayed away from the old way of creating art and design and created a new wave of thinking and design. I think they expected the next generation of new artists and designers not to imitate but to create a new way.

Throughout each reading you see that these three artist all expect that art and design will reach new limits and seek new ways of thinking. According to “Who We Are” written in 1922 that “… new constructivists jumped on the bandwagon, wrote constructive poems, novels, paintings, and other such junk… they have forgotten that all attention should be concentrated on the new experimental laboratories which show us New elements routes things experiments.” Or as stated in Marinetti’s “The Futurist Manifesto” “what is the use of looking behind at the moment when we must open the mysterious shutters of the impossible?”. And lastly by Lissitzky from “Our Book” he states “… epic revolution of our times is given shape”. Even though these writings came in the early decades of the 20th century I feel that the element of innovation and experimentation within art and design still remain true. Innovation and creating is healthy and needed for art and design to grow. Without new, fresh ideas and ways of thinking successful designs and art would not be capable.
