My New Obsession with Space




Vladimir Tatlin, Counter Relief, 1914-15 // Vogue Italia July 2010 Editorial

Tatlin was famous for creating the constructivism movement in Russia and is one of the most famous artists to come from the country. He used constructivism to redefine space, as seen in his counter-relief. He gave a new thought to the simple corner space. The reason I felt the Italian vogue was similar to this came from the emphasis placed on the background objects. Most fashion spreads solely concentrate on the articles of clothing, but seeing as the piece is an editorial the viewer is directed to look at the photo as a whole.
