Reviews
This book shows the origin of Alexander Rodchenko, since by their academic, artistic influences, even his idea of what art is.It seems a overview of his work, especially directed to Design, such as posters, Photomontage and spacial constructions. There's some about his involvement with photography as well.The text occupies only 35 pages (the book has more than 90 pages), which makes the reading quickly, even more with an easy language. The other 60 pages contain images of his work.If you're searching for something deeper, this book will not be sufficient. But if you looking for a superficial knowledge, this book will probably be enough.
