Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

[alexandral]

Happy birthday to most awesome siljamus, queenofthorns and jenlev. You bring many wonderful things into LJ life , in many different ways. I am so glad I "met" you!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

For your birthday, a collection of photographs by painter, photographer and designer Alexander Rodchenko (1891-1956), one of the founders of Russian constructivism.

A portrait of poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. I always found this portrait to be extremely fascinating (ever since I was 9). Mayakovsky was a gorgeous, strong and passionate man:

YAY! I am so glad you like! I was reminded of his works when I was looking for anything interesting in London to tempt me into going to the Oracle User Group. :D His and Popova's works are on exhibition in Tate Modern at the moment.
