Provenance: Acquired from a private collector Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko (Russian: Алекса?ндр Миха?йлович Ро?дченко was a Russian artist, sculptor, photographer and graphic designer. He was one of the founders of constructivism and Russian design; he was married to the artist Varvara Stepanova. Rodchenko was one of the most versatile Constructivist and Productivist artists to emerge after the Russian Revolution. He worked as a painter and graphic designer before turning to photomontage and photography. His photography was socially engaged, formally innovative, and opposed to a painterly aesthetic. Concerned with the need for analytical-documentary photo series, he often shot his subjects from odd angles—usually high above or down below—to shock the viewer and to postpone recognition. He wrote: "One has to take several different shots of a subject, from different points of view and in different situations, as if one examined it in the round rather than looked through the same key-hole again and again." Rodchenko's work was heavily influenced by Cubism and Futurism. Alexander RODCHENKO (Russian federation) is an artist born in 1891. He died in Moscow in 1956.
