Style of the Week : Constructivism (2/4)

Yakov Chernikov ►tumblr ►facebook

Yakov Chernikov studied at the college of art in Odessa and then he moved in 1914 to Petrograd (St. Petersburg). There he joined the Architecture faculty of the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1916, where he later studied under Leon Benois. Greatly interested in futurist movements, including constructivism, and the suprematism of Malevich (with whom he was acquainted), he set out his ideas in a series of books in the late 1920s and early 1930s, including:

The Art of Graphic Representation (1927)

Fundamentals of Contemporary Architecture (1930)

The Construction of Architectural and Machine Forms (1931)

101 Architectural Fantasies (1933)

Louis Lozowick (December 10, 1892 – September 9, 1973), was an American painter and printmaker. He was born in Ludvinovka, Ukraine, came to the United States in 1906, and died in New Jersey in 1973. He is recognized as an Art Deco and Precisionist artist, and mainly produced streamline, urban-inspired monochromatic lithographs in a career that spanned 50 years. His style often appears photorealistic at first glance due to the pains he took in depicting bridges, buildings, silos and machinery down to the last girder, rivet, and cable.
