Russian Constructivist. Architect and Artist
Conceived sculptures in order to question the traditional idea of painting.
Designed Tatlin's Tower, a conceptual piece that used industrial materials. It was designed to exemplify modernity, and to hold several geometric shapes that had different functions.The structure consisted of a steel frame in a helix shape that held transportation to the various parts of the tower. The base was a cube that would have lecture space, conference rooms, and meeting spaces.It was designed to make a full rotation in a year. Above that would have been a pyramid that rotated completely in a month and held executive function. Next highest would have held a cylinder which was to be a broadcasting center, and rotated over the span of a day. At the very top would have been a hemisphere that held broadcasting equipment.
His paintings are also really interesting, and I like his female nudes the best:
