|||| By SilverAgePoets.com |||| VARIANT 3 ||||

For generating stylized images reminiscent of photos featuring Constructivist or/and Dadaist avant-garde string marionettes (or/and stringless "living dolls").
A few of Taeuber-Arp's marionettes used for this fine-tune:

Prompt
large titular decorative cover text atop: “MARIONETTE MODERNISM”. dadadoll style photo frame from a live action Soviet modernist movie showing a complexly dramatic theatrical scene enacted by an avant-garde trio of living and breathing dancing diverse Soviet revolutionary marionette dolls, designed and brought into motion by Aleksandra Ekster & Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Cubo-Futurististically designed marionettes with vivid humanoid features and geometric styles, these creatures have come to life. Constructivist aesthetics. Colorful urban backdrop. large titular text: “MARIONETTE MODERNISM”.

Prompt
Title text reads: “CAPITAL". A dadadoll frame from a live action Soviet modernist 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. The first two dolls, on either side of the composition: represent two rebelling proletarians, young androgynous green-eyed revolutionary sailor on the left and a blue-eyed Ukrainian Bolshevik cossack on the right. The first two dolls are tying up and capturing a third doll: flabby green malicious fanged top-hatted monster with bloody hands. The third doll, the monstrous one, its name is "Capital": title text atop. All three marionettes feature a refined, modern design with playful and imaginative forms. Elaborate intricate fine details. Detailed realistic textures. Raw blemished textured surfaces and unpolished materials. Title text reads: “CAPITAL"

Prompt
Title text caption in large font on top: “CAPITAL”. dadadoll style Soviet modernist movie showing a complexly dramatic theatrical scene enacted by an avant-garde trio representing two rebelling proletarians, an androgynous green-eyed revolutionary sailor on the left and a blue-eyed Ukrainian Bolshevik cossack on the right. They are tying up and capturing a third: a flabby green malicious fanged top-hatted mean voracious monster with bloody hands, and whose name is "Capital": title text atop. The image features a refined, modern design with playful and imaginative forms. Elaborate intricate fine details. Detailed realistic textures. Raw blemished textured surfaces and unpolished materials. Title text reads: “Capital"

Prompt
Title text on top: "CAPITAL" dadadoll style detailed Soviet revolutionary avant-garde marionette production of rebelling proletarians bringing down the pillars of global Capital, upon which sits a bulging massive many limbed chimeric monster with the crown of a tzar, a fat flabby body, many limbs armed with deadly weapons, a beastly head, and a serpent's tail. Yet, the rebels prevail, and though many among them are massacred, some succeed un shattering the foundations of Capital and its ghastly overlord! Caption on the stone monument being destroyed reads: “CAPITAL"

Prompt
dadadoll style revolutionary avant-garde marionette production of a God-like revolutionary soaring atop of a winged horse Pegasus out of the crowded chaos of a smoky past, intricate stylized satirical inspiring fine art poster, masterful depictions of people and detailed scenes

Prompt
Title text on top: "GREED" dadadoll style detailed Soviet revolutionary avant-garde marionette production of of a wild little man, possibly a village jester, sitting on the top of a tall pole, having climbed up there, and waving a huge coin around with a demented face

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?
