For ten points identify the artist who, after designing his "Monument to the Third International," became the leader of the Constructivists.
This man spent most of his later years designing a wooden glider based on insect forms. Beginning as an icon painter, after meeting Picasso in 1913 he incorporated Cubism into works like his series of 4 three-dimensional painted Reliefs. His "Programme of the Productivist Group" saw the origins of a state- sanctioned artistic group that worked on utilitarian furniture and housing. When his most famous design was finished in 1920, it consisted of an iron spiral framework containing a glass cylinder, cone, and cube. That work was intended to be twice as tall as the Empire State Building, but Mother Russia characteristically lacked the steel.
