Information
has glosseng: Alexander Brodsky is a architect and sculptor. He often had to disguise his work in order to pass the censorial powers in the Soviet Union. In 1957 the academy of architecture was abolished by Khrushchev, declaring that the socialist realist architecture was an “over-decorated” style that was considered unnecessary. The “Paper Architects” group protested corrupted standardized production, by producing on paper what they could not produce physically. The drawings were outlandish, often containing humans as part of the architecture to contrast the dehumanized structures created at the time. Eventually he created sculptures with many unnecessary aspects such as stairs leading to no where, floating objects, and complicated items resembling organic forms in abnormal areas to satirize the government’s disdain of his art form.
