The term of faktura (

First World War. David Burliuk used the term as a Russian equivalent of the French word "facture" which refers to the texture of the painted surface.[1] Voldemārs Matvejs used the term in his 1914 text "Printsipy tvorchestva v plasticheskikh iskussvakh: Faktura (Principles of Creation in the Visual Arts: Faktura).[2]

It was later developed by

Victor Shklovsky, referring to the material aspect of the appearance.[4][5][6] The surface of the object had to demonstrate how it had been made, exhibiting its own distinct property.[7]

Thus Faktura could be characterised as the visual demonstration of properties inherent to materials, as illustrated in Corner Counter Relief (1914) by Vladimir Tatlin.
