I love this so so much I presented it in class when I was researching Russian Constructivism.

It is said Theodore Ushev was inspired by Tatlin's Tower, the huge un-built monument of Soviet Times. A crazy Soviet dream spinning out of control.

Very nice visuals, but they could have been tied to specific representation a bit more than they were. At times you have this perfect marriage of the abstract with real concepts (the wheels, trains, tunnel), while other times it becomes essentially random, seemingly not representing anything but the shapes themselves.

This piece is almost like an unofficial anthem for the USSR era. "Stronger, higher and faster! Equality, factories, science!" - and then it collapsed, along with its ideals. There is currently a terrible emptiness in the Russian psyche where those used to be.
I hope that Americans will not live to see the day when their own ideals collapse as well. Corrupt as things are in the US now, the day when the powerful will not even feel the need to pretend to abide by those ideals will be terrible.
