# Where the two fight
# - Constructivism and Poetism share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.
# - Both belong to Avant-garde, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Constructivism: Carries strong propaganda associations. Check the ethics of context and message.
# - Poetism: Building the page with pure constructivist severity drops the lyric play between word and image, leaving engineering rather than a poem.
