Editing Varvara Stepanova (section)

=== Textile production ===

Stepanova carried out her ideal of engaging with industrial production in the following year when she, with [[Lyubov Popova]], became [[designer]] of textiles at the Tsindel (the First State Textile Factory) near Moscow, and in 1924 became professor of textile design at the [[Vkhutemas]] (Higher Technical Artistic Studios). As a constructivist, Stepanova not only transposed bold graphic designs onto her fabrics, but also focused heavily on their production. Stepanova only worked a little over a year at The First Textile Printing Factory, but she designed more than 150 fabric designs in 1924. Although she was inspired to develop new types of fabric, the current technology restricted her to printed patterns on monotone surfaces. By her own artistic choice, she also limited her color palette to one or two dyes. Although she only used triangles, circles, squares, and lines, Stepanova superimposed these geometric forms onto one another to create a dynamic, multi-dimensional design.<ref>{{cite book|last=Lavrentiev|first=Alexander|title=Varvara Stepanova, the complete work|year=1988|publisher=MIT Press|location=Cambridge, Massachusetts|isbn=0262620820|page=80|edition=1st MIT Press|editor=John E.
