Photography

Gustav Klutsis was a Latvian photographer and montage artist who pioneered photomontage as a radical modernist medium in the 1920s and 1930s. Working across photography, collage, and graphic design, he synthesized Soviet constructivism with experimental techniques to create politically charged compositions that merged documentary imagery with abstraction. His practice emerged during the Latvian and early Soviet avant-gardes, establishing photomontage as a distinct formal language.
