10. thank u very much. i'm having a process about him, and this video is very helpful
11. Thanks - appreciated
12. great uplooooooad
13. Every one I know says I have bad taste in art. I think they are just foolish people whose opinions are backed up by a deep and thorough ignorance.
14. @Stardae I believe he used leicas because they were faster in use than the TLRs and view cameras of the day.
15. Nice....
16. @Copernicussun Ahh, very informative! Nonetheless, it adds to my knowledge. Thank you :)
17. @Stardae This is what I know but I am not the last word on Rodchenko. It is simply what I have found out about him.
18. @Stardae He felt they were like hidden laws which impart visual information. Copernicussun Just to continue the previous comment. Rodchenko would photograph scenes where the action or composition would continue outside the frame. This gave the impression that there was a continuation of the composition outside the frame. We cant see this but we "know" this from how Rodchenko has composed the shot. (See photo of gymnastics on Red square) It might seem obvious now - then it was revolutionary.
