AUCTION 35: DECEMBER 2022 DECORATIVE AND FINE ART SALE
An abstract gouache on board painting by Alexander Mikhailovich Rodchenko (Russian, Soviet, 1891 – 1956). Signed with a monogram lower right. Alexander Rodchenko was a Russian and Soviet artist, sculptor, photographer, and graphic designer. He was one of the founders of constructivism and Russian design. He studied drawing and painting at the Kazan School of Fine Arts and architecture at the Stroganov School of Applied Art. An early influence came from Kazimir Malevich, whose Suprematist style contributed to Rodchenko’s adoption of an austere aesthetic and use of materials. In the late 1920s, he joined the October group, with members Diego Rivera, Gustav Klutsis, and Sergei Eisenstein, furthering his commitment to creating art for the working classes.
