"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.
About the photographer, Aleksandr RODCHENKO (1891-1956):
Aleksandr RODCHENKO 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." (publisher's note, © Steidl, 2011)
