Le présent article offre un aperçu des contextes historiques et culturels qui ont influencé l’utilisation du noir par Alexandre Rodtchenko en abordant les réflexions de l’artiste en la matière. Il évoque le dialogue de Rodchenko avec les matériaux, y compris ses choix non conventionnels comme l’utilisation du bitume et met également en évidence l’exploitation par l’artiste des propriétés des matériaux auxquels il a eu recours et de leurs caractéristiques visuelles uniques. L’article envisage en outre les relations qu’entretiennent la technique et l’art, et la façon dont elles s’intègrent dans l’utilisation singulière de la peinture noire par Rodtchenko dans l’ensemble de son œuvre. |
