About this work

This drawing uses flat shapes and sharp lines in red, black, and white. It looks abstract but maps out how surfaces might fold or stack. Rodchenko did this in 1917, the year of Russia’s revolution. The work feels almost like blueprints or instructions instead of a picture. It’s a far cry from his later photos. Check out more of his drawings at the Museum of Ethnography.
