SELFIE IN COBBLESTONE

Looking at the Chadre`s famous scupture The Cobblestone Is the Weapon of the Proletariat (gypsum
1927, bronze 1947) I"ve noticed that the face of his proletarian in it reminds of ... his own face! If he
was a prototype, model of that statue, then it is his own portrait to a certain extent (self-portrait).

Formally it"s a statue of a young proletarian but de facto it"s also, if not mainly a generic, symbolic
image of a creative outbreak on the whole.

Structurally, in abstracto this figure is a helicoid, an unwinding spiral, straightening up spring. The
same principles underlies Myron"s (Μύρων) Discobolus (Δισκοβόλος).
We can"t exclude either that Chadre made this statue of his turn into a metaphor in stone as it was
his favourite method to materialize the poetic tropes. Besides he could hardly ignore the polyse-
mantic symbolism of the concept of stone (cobblestone). I mean antique symbolism, Biblical sym-
bolism and even the Stone Age symbolism.
At the same time the stone metaphors of Chadre are deprived of any assessment. Of course, it would
be primitive and ridiculous to suspect him of thumbing his nose behind the authorities` back. We can-
not speak of the political metaphor as well though the immediate, direct meaning of the sculpture is
obviously political and ideological and related to the Revolutionary epoch in Russia. That time
passed long ago, yet Chadre`s masterpiece didn"t turn into one more monument to the past. It"s
still of significance in its own right. It"s a monument to a creative impulse, or, to be exact, not
that the character of the sculpture has reached the pink of perfection, but it"s edged towards a brink
of it. In some sense this sculpture by Chadre can be reconsidered in a most modern way as a symbol of
all disruptive innovations of any kind. If so, its copies should be present in offices of many
advanced compapanies from the start-ups to the Google Inc. and CMA CGM Group.
