Alexander Rodchenko

Photography Appreciation

If you are my age, you probably recognize the inspired photo of Russian Avant-garde muse Lilya Brik on the rock band Franz Ferdinand's You Could Have It So Much Better album cover.

The photograph is by Russian photographer Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko. He is know as one of the founders of constructivism, a Russian architectural philosophy during the early 20th century.

You can see more of his wonderful work HERE.
