Just a team of pre-war Komsomol youth, still playing with their ball in a long-forgotten yard near Moscow's River Port. The statuary wasn't repaired since 1936, and it stands where the German troops already were in 1941.
Nicely dynamic against the sky - even though they aren't actually moving in reality! I get the distinct impression that a male sculptor created that piece.... Cheers, Bob.
Thanks very much for your comments - I am glad to see that you like my pictures Actually, I like to photograph historical buildings and statuaries in Moscow - they are so old, and no one repairs them... they can be lost soon, so I have to hurry Many people told me that it's not a real photography, but a postcard-making and reproduction work - well, I have some other opinion here
I have a book of "postcards" which I admire very much...it was given to me by a friend of mine Dr. E. Akopov...founder of S.P.I.E. Russian chapter...the book is titled Alexander Rodchenko-Moscow Postcards....The Moscow House of Photography Publishing 2003.....If you can...maybe take some nice black and white prints of your statuary work to the Moscow House of Photography....they are open each day....present them with the idea of publishing photographic historical documentation of surviving statuary art - of the Constructivists era etc.....actually Rodchenko was asked to photograph Moscow in 1932 and in that same year his series were published as postcards.....today a wonderful documentary.
