Aleksandr Ródchenko

He was a russian scultor, a painter, a graphic designer, and a photographer. He was one of the more multifaceted artist in Russia at 20's and 30's.
He was born in Saint Petersburg, in a working-class family in 1891 and died in Moscu in 1956, after studied in the Art School from Kazán. His first abstract drawings have place in 1915, influenced by the Suprematism of Kasimir Valevich. In 1916, he participated in "The Store" an exhibition organized by Vladimir Tatlin, who influenced Rodchenko a lot in his artistic career.

Is for the discipline of photography that I payed atention to him at an art history class.
He used the photographic camera to create disconcerting images, because of the advantage that with the camera he can take photos from any position. He thought that photography matched the human eye activity. He also use photography with a social commitment.
He used diferent types of planes, this impacted the spectator, and they had difficulties to recognize the object that was in the photography. Rodchenko try to release photography from all the conventions and the common point of view in those years.

I like his work because he was pioneer and he was successfull in what he did.

This are two photographs and the last one is very famous, and is one of his works with social commitment.
