Rodchenko Design Boek Kunst en Fotografie

Alexander Mikhailovich Rodchenko is presented in this new title in the Design series, offering an accessible look at the life and work of the renowned Russian artist. Rodchenko (1891–1953) was a central figure in the Russian Constructivist movement, a radical activist, a pioneer of photomontage, a theorist and a teacher. He helped shape early museums of modern art in Russia after the 1917 Revolution and, after attending art school in Kazan in 1914, remained connected to Futurist ideas and collaborators, including Varvara Stepanova, who became his lifelong partner. The book emphasizes his radical view of art’s role in society and a constructed, rather than purely composed, culture.

The work focuses on Rodchenko’s graphic output—book jackets, posters and advertising—placing it within the broader historical and cultural shifts of his time. It presents a concise and comprehensive portrait, explaining how his practices contributed to a new visual language in a post-Revolution context. The Design series is recognized for its consistent branding, typography and cover design, reflecting the quality and coherence of the publisher’s design-oriented titles.
