FROM 2-D TO 3-D. (A.RODCHENKO-THE ICONOGRAPHY OF SPACE)

When revealing another vision, or a new vision of something that already exists, sometimes we call it Art.
Some Rodchenko’s minimalist structures were the base to other artists of cubism (see Picasso’s famous photo when drawing with light), minimalism (Sol LeWitt) and Russian constructivism (Malevich)
The first one in using some elements that were only for mathematicians, Rodchenko’s work in sculpture could open new paths or bridges, towards the worlds of 2 dimensions and 3 dimensions. This is idea of substract the main lines of a determine force, gave his work a strenghtful way of conceiving sculptures from 2D, putting together planes to finally build an object in the world of space. Maybe this is why he could narrow the ways in between the image and the object, as we can see on his work as a photographer.
His work with geometrics was later considered as the firsts steps towards kinetic art. Brut Art also gives him some tribute because the early use of cardboard, and raw materials, in despite of traditional aesthetics, Rodchenko’s incredible ability to work with the minimum of materials; and maybe the most important contribution, is made to the engineering world, demonstrating that laws of structural organization of the material are universal, and remain their structure when changing the scale.

Rodchenko is the sketcher of the space, traducing the concept of drawing and structure into it, as if it were a commonly way of explaining the object’s world.

Making objects from planes is maybe the best way of understanding the space.
