| Rodchenko was the Lucky Lindy of a high-flying scene that was enabled and protected by the liberal Anatoly Lunacharsky, the first People's Commissar of Enlightenment. |
| I note in passing that Rodchenko and his pals, in their repressive attitudes toward, say, realist painters, scanted an important law of show business: be careful how you treat the people you meet on your way up, because you will meet them again on your way down. |
| Rodchenko's esthetic was a cult of process that ran cold and hot. |
