Lilya Brik 

This black and white photograph, “Lilya Brik,” is a portrait by renowned Russian photographer Alexander Rodchenko. It captures Lilya Brik, a prominent figure in the Russian avant-garde, in a dynamic pose, her mouth open as if shouting, her hand cupped around her ear, emphasizing the power of the human voice. Rodchenko's use of stark contrasts and close cropping creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy, characteristic of his modernist approach. This image is considered an iconic representation of the revolutionary spirit of the time, reflecting the social and political changes that swept through Russia in the early 20th century.
