A dadadoll frame from a live action movie showing a complexly dramatic theatrical scene enacted by an avant-garde trio of living and breathing dancing dolls, designed and brought into motion by Aleksandra Ekster & Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Once mere artistically designed marionettes in abstract and geometric styles, these creatures have come to life, and are herein enacting strange dramas of love and loss between themselves. The central one is gold and sits on a red block, while the others stand behind. One is an armed many-limbed metallic robot, with blue and white elements with multiple arms and a complex electric battery-constituted headpiece, and the other is an elegantly minimalistic realistic white stag with a crescent-shaped golden semi-oval head decoration All three marionettes feature a refined, modern design with playful and imaginative forms.

The image is a digital illustration in a detailed, vibrant, high contrast, semi-realistic art style with 90s retro futuristic anime elements without noise or comic halftone effect. The subject is a woman with dark shoulder length hair and green eyes. Her face showing a serious expression. The theme of her body is a vivid red. Her body is slender and athletic. Her body is cyborg with mechanical parts integrated into it. Her arms and chest are fully mechanical. she is wearing a red futuristic, cybernetic, high-tech suit with a vivid red color, reminiscent of military or space gear. the background features a greenish, (dark), abandined, industrial setting with metallic pipes and machinery, creating a sense of a dystopian or sci-fi environment. The compostition and the poses are dynamic. The composition is dominated by cool tones, with a muted, slightly gritty texture that enhances the gritty, futuristic atmosphere.

Selection of 60+ photos of uncanny avant-garde Cubo-Futurist/Constructivist & Surrealist/Dadaist string puppets from two mutually-echoing, though autonomously developed, sets crafted by two of 20th century's most iconic and influential avant-garde artists:
Aleksandra Ekster (1882 — 1949) and Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889 — 1943):

PHOTO OF ALEKSANDRA EKSTER:

PHOTO OF SOPHIE TAEUBER-ARP:

EKSTER & TAEUBER-ARP: Two epochal artists and leading visionaries of their respective (and occasionally overlapping) creative mileus, both utterly distinctive stylists and ever-evolving experimentalists with a shared artistically omnidexterous zeal for expressing their singular geniuses in any and every mode, context, or sphere of expression presciently gleaned at the horizons of a given year or day.
And though their names are seldomly mentioned in the same breath or abstract by researchers or curators, Ekster's & Taeuber-Arp's artistic trajectories do hold between them some measure of spectral rhyme, like a matching rhythm of two extremely long shadows tossed by two incomparable lives unto some unbestknown shared point of exact inbetweenness...
...granted, comparing their arts, styles, or even specific works would likely be a pointless exercise, and at best an entertaining little mystification, with no exhaustive enough point of reference to speak of (with the closest plausible exception being the two marrionette sets that went into this LoRA; still... we'd rather treat these dolls as a signal echo, a commonality, not as some opportune overlay for critical dissection by contrast harnessing);

...moreover, every conclusion one might reach by placing the works/ways of two artists in direct contrast to each other (and, thereby, becoming all the more decontextualized in other ways) tends to be even more contrived and shallow than a museum retrospective brochure, or a random introductory write-up like this one ... So... What are we left with? Why, everything, of course!
...For the prime commonality of these particular two artists is, of course, condensed in the comparably monumental scale, kaleidoscopic variety, and pioneering resonance of the influence each and both had cast upon their largely-co-contemporaneous lifetimes, worlds, and arts...
– with Ekster (co-)formulating (alongside Burlyuk, Goncharova, Malevich, Tatlin, Popova, & others) the premises and most prolifically refining the character of Eastern-European Cubo-Futurism, Suprematism, & Soviet Constructivism alike;
– and with Taeuber-Arp due at least as much, and arguable more, credit than any of her over-mythologized Sur-Dada peers for the shaping of both Dadaism & Surrealism artistically (some avant-garde historiographers seem to forget that part); meaning, a Surrealism both greater & other than any mere "style", constituting an open-form process-oriented creative life-mode, which Taeuber-Arp had lived out unto a model epitome in ways Dali could only dream of (occasionally reporting back), and only a few others matched then or since (notably, Carrington in her latter days)... ...as for our extending rhyme-scheme of Tauber-Arp's & Ekster's comparative impact-traces; some additional echoes between them sound out within the steep angle to which both their statures, their respective gravities of influence, have been posthumously understated by art historiographers & other hauntological strappers-up of heavy-stringed canons, with their due canonical stature for long with-held. And for what possible reason?
