Frases de Vladimir Tatlin

Vladimir Evgrafovič Tatlin foi um pintor, escultor e arquiteto soviético. Foi o primeiro teórico do construtivismo e grande incentivador do movimento.

Com o triunfo da Revolução Soviética , Tatlin teve a oportunidade de traduzir suas ideias no célebre projeto do Monumento à Terceira Internacional. Pode-se dizer que praticamente todos os projetos arquitetônicos da época ambicionavam mais do que a tecnologia daquele tempo, sobretudo em um país pobre como a Rússia de então poderia ser capaz de propiciar.

O exemplo mais conhecido desde tipo de problema é justamente o Monumento à Terceira Internacional, cuja maquete Tatlin apresentou em Moscou, no ano de 1920: uma grande espiral de aço circunda uma pirâmide, um cone e um cilindro de cristal, rotativos e concebidos para alojar escritórios e salões.

O monumento é considerado o ponto alto de todo o trabalho artístico de Tatlin, que passou a trabalhar como cenógrafo em 1933 e, a despeito da posterior proibição da arte de vanguarda, foi um dos poucos criadores experimentais a não abandonar a União Soviética, vivendo em Moscou até morrer, aos 67 anos.

“The dream [of flying] is as old as Icarus... I too want to give back to man the feeling of flight [with his 'Letatlin'-air-bike, 1929-1932]. This we have been robbed of by the mechanical flight of the aeroplane. We cannot feel the movement of our body in the air.”
