These pieces are early paintings by Rodchenko, the first is 'Composition on yellow ground no. 89' painted in 1919 from a series called 'Lines' I really like the simplicity of this, using only white lines to create the imagery. He has created a 3D effect by having the diagonal straight line and then slowly changing the position of the lines intersecting it, to make it appear as though it is starting to curve in on itself.
The second and third are, 'Construction no. 106 and 107' painted in 1920, with these he has expanded on the idea in the first of creating 3D elements with geometric shapes. This is especially evident on the latter with the overlapping circles, to create a tubular effect.
I took the influence of overlapping shapes to create a 3D effect for my poster for my Elastypography project. I overlapped the letter a, rotating it slightly to create a spiral effect, drawing your eye into the poster.
