Alexander Rodchenko started out as a painter and later became a brilliant photographer. He was one of the greatest Russian photographers of his time …

The Leica is equally legendary - it was the first 35mm camera in wide use. Rodchenko is credited being the first artist to make her use popular in Russia.

I always loved Rodchenko’s work - although I am not a big fan of the Soviet System. But it’s all gone and all that’s left is the art.

Pictures from the old Soviet Union always feel alien and almost dadaistic. It must have been a strange society.
