    		Alexander Rodchenko -- (Russian, 1891-1956)

    Girl with Leica, 1934 (Pictured on first link)

    Note: Mr. Gutmann's "Elevator Garage" (Chicago, 1936), for example, has the distinctive bold, tilted angle and arresting cropping of Russian Constructivism. "Web of Light," in which the shadows of a grid fall on the face and torso of a young woman, is uncannily reminiscent of Alexander Rodchenko's "Girl With Leica," but the pictures were taken in 1934 on different continents.
