Rodchenko was the Lucky Lindy of a high-flying scene that was enabled and protected by the liberal Anatoly Lunacharsky, the first People's Commissar of Enlightenment.
I note in passing that Rodchenko and his pals, in their repressive attitudes toward, say, realist painters, scanted an important law of show business: be careful how you treat the people you meet on your way up, because you will meet them again on your way down.
Rodchenko's esthetic was a cult of process that ran cold and hot.

We immediately sense a certain heat in Rodchenko's relationship to Stepanova: he tall and quizzical, with his swaggering poses and radical uniforms, she short and feisty, full of can-do energy and libidinal fun.
From the catalogue, we glean that he had a performative flair, a talent for technical know-how (his father was a theatrical properties man, his mother a laundress) and a genius for serf-promotion that would stand him in good stead in the heady days that were to follow.
In the maelstrom of the 1920s, Rodchenko did not have time to mature as an artist, although he was wildly active as a curator, arts administrator, teacher, layout man, photojournalist, set and costume designer for both film and theater, even actor (with Stepanova) in a film test for Sergei Eisenstein's 1926 movie Old and New.

Alexandr Rodchenko (1891-1956) was a student of both Malevich and Tatlin in the period just before the Revolution.
A Constructivist, Rodchenko was one of the earliest photo-collagists.
Rodchenko's control over the image is suggested by his particular point of view: to keep the balcony below him from intruding its dark form into the lighter courtyard, he was obliged to lean rather precariously over the railing of his own balcony.

In 1921, Alexandr Rodchenko exhibited three paintings together, each a monochrome in one of the three primary colours.
While Rodchenko intended his monochrome to be a dismantling of the typical assumptions of painting, Malevich saw his work as a concentration on them, a kind of meditation on art's essence ('pure feeling').

 M A K o n l i n e - ALEXANDR RODCHENKO
In the early 1920s, Alexandr Rodchenko (1891–1956), one of the co-founders of constructivism, experimented with twodimensional surfaces and their extension into three-dimensional space.
Because Rodchenko destroyed his constructions after documenting them in photographs, they can be seen today only in the form of replicas.
The MAK now presents a selection of these, in conjunction with the Rodchenko Society of Moscow and the MUAR (Shusev State Museum of Architecture, Moscow).

Artista rivoluzionario, nel senso più filosofico del termine, Rodchenko inizia a fotografare nel 1924, dopo oltre dieci anni di esperienze culturali vissute nel pieno dinamismo intellettuale dell'avanguardia russa.
La pittura, prima e fondamentale pulsione creativa che ne condizionerà tutta l'opera, è interpretata da Rodchenko in perenne proiezione innovativa, seguendo e facendo propri i concetti del costruttivismo e, in particolare, le influenze di Tatlin e di Malevic.
Siamo nel 1921 e Rodchenko adotta l'arte applicata, spesso fotomontaggi e collage, per creare dei prodotti utili: copertine di libri e di riviste, manifesti pubblicitari, commerciali e di propaganda.

 Art in America: Boomtowns of the Avant-Garde - Tate Modern exhibition - Critical Essay
Among the models were Alexandr Shukhov's proposed Moscow radio tower; Alexandr Vesnin's unrealized proposal for a glass-and-iron Pravda building painted in the avant-garde palette of red, fl and gray; and Vladimir Tatlin's glider, which hovered overhead like a Constructivist bird of prey.
The rooms that followed contained paintings by Kazimir Malevich, spatial constructions by Gregori Stenberg and Alexandr Rodchenko, Tatlin reliefs, a sampling of El Lissitzky's photomontages and a reconstruction of his 1923 Proun room in which the box of the gallery is broken apart by painted and wooden rectangles and squares.
The ultimate expression of the era's interdisciplinary mode, however, was in the world of experimental theater, represented here by intricate scale model re-creations of Liubov Popova's set for The Magnanimous Cuckold (1922), and Vesnin's production of The Man Who Was Thursday (1923).
