Informal, candid, and decidedly modern, «street photography» has often been associated with Paris and New York City, but Moscow has a long tradition of it as well. With 34 black and white photographs by such photographers as Aleksandr Rodchenko, Vladimir Kupriyanov, and Anatolii Boldin, these images span the 20th century. The photos depict a diverse nation that has always been nonconformist at heart: a woman in a bonnet carefully handles a munitions shell in a factory; a comically disheveled shoe shiner smokes a cigarette in front of his shop; and a model stands on a rooftop, draped in the Soviet flag.
