Description

Alexander Rodchenko: Design explores the life and work of this versatile Russian artist. A central figure in the Russian Constructivist art movement, Rodchenko was a radical activist, pioneer of photomontage, theorist, and teacher. His graphic work, including book jackets, posters, and advertising, is the focus of this concise and comprehensive study. Rodchenko's approach to art proposed a new understanding of a constructed culture, rather than one composed with traditional aesthetics. This radical vision was shaped by his experiences attending art school in Kazan, where he met artist Varvara Stepanova and became influenced by Russian Futurism. The book provides an informative look at Rodchenko's graphic work, offering insight into the development of a new culture without the class implications of the past. Written by John Milner, a specialist in nineteenth and twentieth century art in France and Russia, this book is a valuable introduction to Rodchenko's life and work.
