Yavok Chernikov, from ‘Cycle of Architectural Landscapes’, circa 1913(?). The artwork depicts a disorienting sublime image of a modern cityscape bathed in deep red light. From Chernikov’s ‘The Formations of Construction’: ... ‘... despite the extreme complexity of our life, despite the diversity of its structure, it is in certain respects being simplified though the perfection of technological achievement ... many processes that were complicated and slow are now being sped simplified and sped up ... the principles of simplification, acceleration, and purposefulness emerge ...’ ‘In former times machinery was considered something profoundly inartistic, and mechanical forms were excluded from the province of beauty ... now we know machinery not only lies within the confines of artistic conception, but also has its own indubitable and convincing aesthetic norms and canons ... able to unite the principles of mechanical production and the stimuli of artistic creation ... Primordial man, in building his dolmens, triliths, crypts, and edifices with unconsciously a Constructivist.’
