This photograph of Shukhov tower (Шуховская башня), also known as Shabolovka Tower, taken by Rodchenko in 1929, was the catalyst that got me excited about Rodchenko’s revolutionary style of photography, the 1920’s and Constructivism.
Alexander Rodchenko, Шуховская башня, 1929
I first photographed this beautiful piece of engineering art in the summer of 2009, 80 years after Rodchenko’s photograph. And it’s still an impressive piece of work!
