Battleship Potemkin | |
---|---|
Artist | Alexander Rodchenko |
Year | 1925 |
The posters for the movie Battleship Potemkin created by Aleksandr Rodchenko in 1925 became prominent examples of Soviet constructivist art.[1] One version shows a sniper sight on two scenes of Eisenstein's movie, representing two guns of the Battleship.[2]
Another version was created in 1926.[3] Being part of collections of museums such as Valencia's IVAM,[4] shows a much clearer image.[4] Using a central romboid figure with the Battleship on it, combines graphic design and photomontage to create an image where the Battleship is the main protagonist.[4] The clear image contrasts with the aggressive use of painting,[5] whereas the diagonal lines are also a recognizable trait of the work.[5]
There is also a poster where the central figure is a sailor, with the Battleship on the central background.[6]
