=== Constructivism ===
As early as 1917, in parallel with her Suprematist work, the artist had made fabric designs and worked on ''Agitprop'' books and posters, In the ''[[Tenth State Exhibition: Non Objective Creativity and Suprematism]]'', 1918, she contributed the architectonic series of paintings. She continued painting advanced abstract works until 1921. In the [[5x5=25]] Exhibition of 1921,<ref>Gray, Camilla, ''The Russian Experiment in Art'', Thames and Hudson, 1965</ref> Popova and her four fellow [[Constructivism (art)|Constructivists]] declared that easel painting was to be abandoned and all creative work was to be for the people and the making of the new society. Popova worked in a broad range of mediums and disciplines, including painting, relief, works on paper, and designs for the theater, textiles, and typography. Popova did not join the [[First Working Group of Constructivists|Working Group of Constructivists]] when it was set up in Moscow in March 1921, but joined by the end of 1921. In 1923 she began creating designs for fabric to be manufactured by the First State Textile Printing Works in Moscow.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.incorm.eu/Biogs/Popova.pdf|title=Liubov Popova|access-date=2017-03-11|archive-date=2016-07-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160705020110/http://www.incorm.eu/Biogs/Popova.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>

From 1921 to 1924 Popova became entirely involved in Constructivist projects, sometimes in collaboration with [[Varvara Stepanova]], the architect [[Alexander Vesnin]] and [[Alexander Rodchenko]]. She produced stage designs: [[Vsevolod Meyerhold]]'s production of [[Fernand Crommelynck]]'s [[Le Cocu magnifique|''The Magnanimous Cuckold'']], 1922; her ''Spatial Force Constructions'' were used as the basis of her art teaching theory at [[Vkhutemas]]. She designed typography of books, production art and textiles, and contributed designs for dresses to [[LEF (journal)|LEF]].<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Popova Spacial force constr. 4.jpg|thumb|Liubov Popova, ''Spatial force construction'', 1921, oil on plywood {{deletable image-caption}}]] -->
