| Alexander Rodchenko |
From the website: I begin with a spectacular pair of spectacles and I will end with a pair of spectacles. Even if you have never heard the name Alexander Rodchenko, you may well know his 1924 image of Osip Brik, the husband of Lili Brik, who was the lover of the poet Mayakovsky. Osip Brik was the co-founder of LEF - a magazine whose acronym stands for Levy Front Isskustva, the Leftist Front for the Arts. Rodchenko's iconic image shows these three Cyrillic letters in one lens of Brik's spectacles. Once seen, never forgotten.
