Greene, especially, became fascinated with the Constructivists, ideas about unifying art and politics—thoughts that grew out of their belief that when "purified," art would show the way for reordering society along higher planes.
Even more than the theory, however, Greene was impressed with Pevsner's and Gabo's art, and began doing Constructivist drawings.
By 1935, the year the Museum of Modern Art presented excellent examples of work by Malevich, El Lissitzky, Rodchenko, Tatlin, and Pevsner in an exhibition entitled Cubism and Abstract Art, she herself had begun making constructions.

In 1920 Tatlin was joined by the brothers Antoine Pevsner and Naum Gabo and together they produced their “Realist Manifesto” in which one of the directives was “To Construct Art” and it is from this that the name derives.
Pevsner and Gabo rejected the idea that art must serve a socially useful purpose and developed a purely abstract art that reflected modern machinery and technology and used industrial materials such as plastic and glass.
They stated that “artists must construct objects like an engineer building a bridge, with the precise frame of mind of a compass”.

 Gertrude Greene
Unlike Louis Schanker, Hananiah Harari, and others for whom art expressed societal concerns, natural forms, and structures, Greene looked to the purity of Mondrian and Russian Constructivists Antoine Pevsner, Naum Gabo, and Vladimir Tatlin for her artistic foundations.
Greene, especially, became fascinated with the Constructivists' ideas about unifying art and politics-thoughts that grew out of their belief that when "purified," art would show the way for reordering society along higher planes.
Initially indicative of her appreciation for Jean Arp's work, Greene's constructions over the next two years moved between biomorphic and geometric abstraction.

Constructivist art began with works of primarily abstract constructions.
After 1916 the brothers Naum (Pevsner) Gabo and Antoine Pevsner sculptural added an emphasis related to the technology of the society in which they were created.
Constructivism was closely related to another modern art movement named suprematism, which sought "to liberate art from the ballast of the representational world." It consisted of geometrical shapes flatly painted on the pure canvas surface.
