Opening Reception | Temporary Monument: Photomontages for Mayakovsky's Poem 'To the Workers of Kursk' by Yuri Rozhkov


During the 1920s, Yuri Nikolaevich Rozhkov — a lesser-known and self-taught Russian graphic artist — made photomontages for several poems by Mayakovsky. While the whereabouts of many of these are unknown, 17 sheets of original photomontages for Mayakovsky’s poem “To the Workers of Kursk” are kept at the State Museum of Literature in Moscow. Rozhkov’s unique series of photomontages was inspired by the avant-garde energy of the poem and the geological discovery of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, the biggest iron-ore basin in the world.
