Synopsis
Following the Russian Revolution, two artists, Aleksandr Rodchenko (1891-1956) and Liubov Popova (1889-1924), propelled the avant-garde in an exciting new direction. As pioneers of the Constructivist movement, Rodchenko and Popova created an astonishing array of iconic work that reflected the new political and cultural landscape of their nation. In this groundbreaking book, leading authorities on Constructivism and the Russian avant-garde shed new light on the artists’ achievements and examine the extent of their influence on twentieth-century graphic design, fashion, theater, and film.
For the first time, the issue of gender in the Constructivist movement is explored in-depth, with the artists’ extensive network of colleagues and collaborators considered in the discussion. Extensively illustrated with striking examples of the artists’ work, including previously unpublished works, Rodchenko and Popova is a comprehensive account of their creative development, from their movement through different mediums to their passionate rejection of “art for art’s sake.” Published to accompany a major exhibition at Tate Modern, this is an indispensable guide to a fascinating period in art history.

Paperback. Condition: Near fine in wraps. First Edition. 23 x 28cm 199pp near fine exhibition catalogue with colour reproductions showing the works of the ground-breaking Russians. Rodchenko and Popova were pioneers of the art movement known as Constructivism. They considered themselves engineers rather than artists in the traditional sense, and aimed to contribute to the redesign of everyday life. Constructivist art abandoned the galleries for the streets. Artists directed their energies at crockery and textiles, propaganda and cinema posters, book jackets and newspaper kiosks.This shift from two dimensional paintings to three dimensional sculptures went hand in hand with the entry of art into everyday life. Constructivist artists sought to leave behind flat picture planes and static images in order to access a mobile and multi-faceted world inspired by films, carnival floats, clothing and badges.Withc olour reproductions.

23,5 cm x 28 cm. Frontispiece, 190 pages with illustrations throughout. Original Softcover. Excellent condition with only minor signs of wear. Includes for example: Being-in-Production: The Constructivist Code / Plates / His and Her Constructivism / Commentary on Drawings / The Line etc. Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko (5 December [O.S. 23 November] 1891 December 3, 1956) 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 anglesusually high above or down belowto 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." (Wikipedia) Lyubov Sergeyevna Popova (April 24, 1889 May 25, 1924) was a Russian avant-garde artist (Cubist, Suprematist and Constructivist), painter and designer. Popova was born in Ivanovskoe, near Moscow, to the wealthy family of Sergei Maximovich Popov, a very successful textile merchant and vigorous patron of the arts, and Lyubov Vasilievna Zubova, who came from a highly cultured family. Lyubov Sergeyevna had two brothers and a sister: Sergei was the eldest, then Lyubov, Pavel and Olga. Pavel became a philosopher and the guardian of his sister's artistic legacy. She grew up with a strong interest in art, especially Italian Renaissance painting. At eleven years old she began formal art lessons at home; she was first enrolled in Yaltinskaia's Women's Gymnasium, then in Arseneva's Gymnasium in Moscow. By the age of 18 she was studying with Stanislav Zhukovsky, and in 1908 entered the private studios of Konstantin Yuon and Ivan Dudin. In 1912 to 1913, she began attending the studios of the Cubist painters Henri Le Fauconnier and Jean Metzinger. As early as 1917 in parallel with her Suprematist work, she had made fabric designs and worked on Agitprop books and posters, In the Tenth State Exhibition: Non Objective Creativity and Suprematism, 1918, she contributed the architectonic series of paintings. She continued painting advanced abstract works until 1921. In the 5 x 5 Exhibition of 1921, Popova and her four fellow Constructivists declared that easel painting was to be abandoned and all creative work was to be for the people and the making of the new society. Popova worked in a broad range of mediums and disciplines, including painting, relief, works on paper, and designs for the theater, textiles, and typography. Popova did not join the Working Group of Constructivists when it was set up in Moscow in March 1921, but joined by the end of 1921. In 1923 she began creating designs for fabric to be manufactured by the First State Textile Printing Works in Moscow. From 1921 to 1924 Popova became entirely involved in Constructivist projects, sometimes in collaboration with Varvara Stepanova, the architect Alexander Vesnin and Alexander Rodchenko. She produced stage designs: Vsevolod Meyerhold's production of Fernand Crommelynck's The Magnanimous Cuckold, 1922; her Spatial Force Constructions were used as the basis of her art teaching theory at Vkhutemas. She designed typography of books, production art and textiles, and contributed designs for dresses to LEF. She worked briefly in the Cotton Printing Factory in Moscow with Varvara Stepanova.
