ALEXANDER RODCHENKO

Dear Sophie -

ALEXANDER RODCHENKO was one of the founders of CONSTRUCTIVISM whose work took the forms of photography and photomontage. 

Rodchenko collaborated with the poet MAYAKOVSKY and his wife Vera Stepanova among others.  Revolutionary Russia was an incredibly dynamic period, where the movement and intellectual life touched upon art, architecture, graphic design, film, literature, theater and music

These images speak to the promise of a machine age and ideals for all workers.

Constructivism informed the DE STIJL movement in the Netherlands and was the bedrock upon which the BAUHAUS in Germany was founded.  

With love,

Mom
