In this constructivism task I am going to look at the work of artist Alexander Rodchenko, born in Russia in 1891, Rodchenko was one of the first photographers to produce work during the Russian revolution. He focused his imagery mostly around photomontage and architectural vision. This image ‘Power-station 1929’ is a great example of his work through constructivism. As you can see he uses an interesting use of perspective that is shown by the way Alexander Rodchenko photographs the building looking up from the bottom to the top. He uses the lines of the building to guide the audiences eye from the base to the top of the photo. The moment began in Russia in 1919 it was created to appreciate art as a practice for social motivations. Constructivism effected many modern art movements, influencing courses such as De Stijl and Bauhaus.
