Vladimir Tatlin

The person who I admire is Vladimir Tatlin. He was born in  December 28^th 1885 in Jarkov. Tatlin is a Russian artist. He worked in the area of painting, sculpture and architecture.

In 1914 Vladimir Tatlin founded the Russian Constructivism. In 1920 Tatlin partnered up with Anton Pevsner, Naum Gabo and Alexander Rodchenko.

When Tatlin travelled to Paris, he met Pablo Picasso and he participated in various artistic movements, such as futurism and construtivism.

Tatlin died in May 31^st  1953 in Moscow.

Tatlin also has done artworks and proyects with a massive style, such as ´´Monument to the Third International´´ and ´´Shujov Tower´´.

´´Monument to the Third International´´ was never built, Tatlin only did models , because the Russian civil war produced a lack of materials what prevented the final construction . The tower was going to measure 400 meters in hight, with a spiral shaped structure, overturned sideways, would have three structures in glass with different shapes: a cylinder, a cone, and a cube this forms would rotate at different speeds.

I like Vladimir Tatlin , because he developed a new language to the modern sculpture and he was very creative with his artworks.
