“Contradictions of perspective. Contrasts of light. Contrasts of form. Points of view impossible to achieve in drawing and painting. Foreshortenings with a strong distortion of the objects, with a crude handling of matter. Moments altogether new, never seen before compositions whose boldness outstrips the imagination of painters Then the creation of those instants which do not exist, contrived by means of photomontage. The negative transmits altogether new stimuli to the sentient mind and eye.” MindMeanMatterMomentsLightEyeFormStrongImaginationViewsImpossibleAchieveCreationObjectsPaintingPerspectiveNegativePoint Of ViewDrawingPainterInstantContradictionContrastCompositionBoldnessStimulusDistortionCrudeTransmitDrawing And Painting Author:Alexander Rodchenko
“The viewer who sees only a study in the picture of the glass jug illuminated from behind fails to appreciate the masterly composition, the noble purity of the lines, the rich plasticity of the form and consequently also the poetry and beauty of the picture, and still more important, its specifically photographic qualities.” StillsImportantFormLinesBehindsQualityStudyRichFailingAppreciateGlassesNoblePurityCompositionViewersJugsPlasticity Author:Alexander Rodchenko
