Conversation about paintings and sculptures is the foundation to comprehending art. Artworks are discussed by viewers, critics and art historians. Artworks are commented by artists, who quote paintings and sculptures of their predecessors in their own pieces of art. From the moment of its creation, every artwork includes a set of commentaries.
Alexander Rodchenko – Revolution in Photography
Fotomuseum Winterthur
28.05.-14.08.2011
Modernism made photography what it is. It gave it self-confidence and made it trust itself. Self-confidence because photography in the 1920s recognized and developed its own possibilities and qualities: a probing vision of the world, an investigation of the visible reality from various perspectives, direct, clear, from above, below, behind, from the front, but without references to the pool of art history. Russian Constructivism is an important part of this great shift.
