What are the photos of Alexander Roshenko?

Alexander Decenco (189 1 ~ 1956) was born in Petersburg, Russia, and then moved to Kazan on the Volga River. In Kazan, young Rodchenko began to contact photography. He first worked as a coolie in a film studio, and later, he was lucky enough to be an auditor in Kazan Art School.

From 65438 to 0924, Roshenko began his photography career. As a pioneer of Russian photography structuralism, he always tries to "break through the tradition" and behave "differently" regardless of composition or use of light. He emphasized shooting from an unusual angle and using special light to express familiar things. He doesn't care about this traditional photo that makes people look serious at all. He wanted to create his own style, although it was not accepted by most people at that time.

Rodchenko's works break through the traditional rules of composition and have strong visual impact. Stairs by 1930 and Girls with Leica by 1934 are the best works in this style.

In order to obtain special artistic effects, Roshenko often uses unique perspectives to capture the position and movement of the subject in space, such as high-angle overhead and low-angle overhead. For such a shooting method, Rodchenko explained:

For an object, we must take several different photos from different angles and different positions, just as we want to look around, instead of looking at it repeatedly through a small hole.

Later, Rodchenko's works became more and more abstract. The lattice frame of the broadcasting tower he photographed looks like a collapsible bread basket, which is accused by many people as "distortion" and even named as a "formalism" photographer.

Roshenko once said in his article "The Road to Contemporary Photography":

If you want to cultivate a person with new desires, you must show the familiar scenery from a completely unexpected perspective and in a strange situation.

Many of Rodchenko's works in the 1930s are the best annotations to this sentence.
