For many years respected gallerists Peter MacGill, Rudolf Kicken and Edwynn Houk have been collecting Aleksandr
Rodchenko's photographs. This book is a curated selection of these images, mostly reproduced at their original sizes. The
hallmarks of Rodchenko's inimitable Constructivist-influenced vision are here to see, regardless of whether he is photographing
people, architecture or machinery: bold diagonals, abstract shapes and moving objects cutting through space.
Aleksandr Rodchenko (1891-1956) was an influential Russian photographer, painter, sculptor and graphic designer.
He negotiated multiple styles and movements including Constructivism and Dadaism to arrive at a reduced style
which he exerted across diverse media. In addition to his work as a visual artist, Rodchenko was an influential museum
director and curator.
