Unconventional vantage points were a hallmark of Alexander Rodchenko’s photographic style. In this striking image, the head of a young “Pioneer” - a member of the Soviet youth organization - is captured from directly below, transforming the figure into an abstract, triangular composition. – A few small retouched spots, otherwise in very good condition.
