Credit LineGift of Mr. Robert RauschenbergSubject matterIn this print, Dan Flavin takes a photograph of Vladimir Tatlin, the famous Constructivist sculptor, and juxtaposes it with an incongruous geometric pattern. The pattern appears to reference Flavin's work
Monument for V. Tatlin. The stark contrast between modernity and former technological advancements (namely photography) is made apparent, as well as Flavin's obvious admiration for Tatlin.
