Alexander Rodchenko – Father Of Soviet Photography
Alexander Rodchenko is a famous Russian photographer, a pioneer of Russian photographic avant-garde, whose works now are considered to be classic. His most well-known photos are Lilya Brick, wearing a head scarf and crying something out loud; Mayakovsky, smoking a cigarette; athletes, walking on a sport parade; Soviet workers, building bright future and others – this is one could have seen and admired, if they managed to drop to Manezh for a couple of hours.
Alexander Rodchenko has always been a fashion and style icon – he spent almost his whole life wearing one leather coat, one pair of shoes and they overall made by his wife Varvara Stepanova, a designer of clothes. These personal belongings were also among showpieces of the exhibition – to make the portrait of the genius closer to ordinary people. Moscow House of Photography aimed this exhibition to show evolution of Alexander Rodchenko’s creative work and for better understanding of his photographic worlds.
The exhibition gives a chance to touch people, who died long time ago, but are immortal thanks to the master, who knew the right angle and the right point of view to give humans eternal life.
