Description

Tempera on paper Constructivist composition, ca. 1920–1929, attributed to Alexander Vesnin, Russian, Soviet, 1883–1959. Signed in Cyrillic: A. Vesnin on the lower left margin. On the back there is a label of the Soviet period with the name of the artist and a stamp of the V. I. Lenin State Library. Alexander Aleksandrovich Vesnin, together with his brothers Leonid and Viktor, was a leading light of Constructivist architecture. He is best known for his meticulous perspectival drawings such as Leningrad Pravda of 1924. In addition to being an architect, he was a theater designer and painter, frequently working with Lyubov Popova on designs for workers' festivals, and for the theater of Tairov. He was one of the exhibitors in the pioneering Constructivist exhibition 5x5=25 in 1921. He was the head, along with Moisei Ginzburg, of the Constructivist OSA Group.
