RUSSIAN BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS BY RODCHENKO
A lot of two original black and white photographs By Alexander Rodchenko. One photograph depicts the building of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. Another photograph shows an architectural cityscape, presumably also from Moscow. Both photographs are stamped in Cyrillic verso: Rodchenko. Circa the 1930s. Alexander Rodchenko was a Russian and Soviet artist, sculptor, photographer, and graphic designer. He was one of the founders of constructivism and Russian design. He studied drawing and painting at the Kazan School of Fine Arts and architecture at the Stroganov School of Applied Art. An early influence came from Kazimir Malevich, whose Suprematist style contributed to Rodchenko’s adoption of an austere aesthetic and use of materials. In the late 1920s, he joined the October group, with members Diego Rivera, Gustav Klutsis, and Sergei Eisenstein, furthering his commitment to creating art for the working classes.
