I'm currently struggling with a series of three avant-garde ATCs. The Suprematism one turned out beautifully due to my discovery of expensive pastels. It is now onto Maiakovskii, because the Russian Avant-Garde cannot exist without the lestnitsa or little staircase (click here to see what I mean) and LEF or the Left Front because my Russian Avant-Garde is predominantly a literary movement. I've been playing with a scanner, Photoshop, and the catalogue for the 1998 Rodchenko exhibit at MOMA. Since it seems pointless to scan only one picture when you can scan so many more without much effort, I'd like to share with you my favorite Rodchenko photograph. It's called Utrennii tualet [Morning Wash] (1932). -Zh.
