Alexander Rodchenko

Alexander Rodchenko was  a Russian artist, famous founder of constructivism who took a decision and acted upon an evolvement of a new movement. He joined forces with his wife Vanvera Slepanova, Karl Loganson, Konstantin Medunetski, Aleksei Gan and the Stenberg brothers and together they called themselves 'The Wolfgana Group of Constructivism'

Rodchenko experimented in several fields including paintings, sculptures, drawings, photo montage, collage. He also tried out photography, architectural projects and graphics on covers of magazines, posters and advertising ad well as fashion. He implied constructivism in several fields.
He constructed his first art work by creating simple shapes and forms and by applying primary colours. This experimental phase developed into an evolution where the combination of other multiple colours and shapes occurred which defined constructivism.
Rodchenko soon began to be influenced by architectural design. He began to create several abstractions by using a ruler and a compass. Through his work linerasim was able to be shaped further developing creation in 3D artworks.

By playing with these dynamics Rodchenko was able to create a 'static balance to constructivism'.
Rodchenko was also involved in a group of constructivism which created art with an intention to serve the social industry and cultural development, Rodchenko created designed film posters, magazines and book covers through photo montages and photography. By using geometric designs and simple elements and colour he produced propaganda poster. His typography was of a clear composition which allowed the viewer to understand the information that was published. 

Vladimir Tatlin described Rodchenko as 'an artist who created for years without and recognition and worked until death with great zeal and simple pure taste, for an unknown future'. This made Rodchenko a revolutionary artist.
