Rodchenko: The Complete Work Details
From Library Journal Rodchenko and Vesnin were part of the Russian Constructivist movement, with roots in cubism and futurism. Machines and technology were admired, along with a geometrically based aesthetic, but much of the group philosophy was too modern for the early Soviet Socialist regime. Rodchenko and Vesnin were among the Constructivists who stayed in Russia and enjoyed success and patronage. Vesnin was originally an architect. He also painted and did stage design and graphic work, all of which is illustrated in this first book in English on his work. The book is attractive and straightforward. It is recommended for comprehensive modern art collections. The book on Rodchenko is less appealing, in both text and physical layout. Rodchenko, in addition to working in painting, graphics, stage and costume design, etc., was also a photographer. There is a good selection of photographs, but the material is crowded. There are fewer color plates than in the Vesnin book. For scholarly, comprehensive modern art collections where other material on Rodchenko is lacking.

Reviews
The presentation of the subject matter is a little too constructivist to be an easy read, but the content is superb.
