  • Aleksandr Rodchenko and French painting between 1860 and 1930.

    This article analyses the fundamental importance of French art and intelectual history for the Russian avant-garde artist Alexandr Rodchenko (1891-1956). French paintings, such as Jules-Élie Delaunay's "La Peste à Rome", continued to influence the artist's work, even as he was abandoning easel painting. In his photographs, he particularly referred to masterpieces of the late 19th century of Coubert, Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec. An astonishing formal correspondence with Matisse is also shown. To conclude, Rodchenko's black-and-white (sometimes hand-coloured!) reformulations -his "museum eyes"- are discussed in terms of imitation and artistic perception.
