Russian Avant Garde

Klappentext The Russian Avant-Garde was born at the turn of the 20th century in pre-revolutionary Russia. Intellectual and cultural turmoil had then reached a peak and provided fertile soil for the formation of the movement. For many artists influenced by European art! the movement represented a way of liberating themselves from the social and aesthetic constraints of the past. It was these Avant-Garde artists who! through their immense creativity! gave birth to abstract art! thereby elevating Russian culture to a modern level. Such painters as Kandinsky! Malevitch! Gontcharova! Larionov! and Tatline! to name but a few! had a definitive impact on 20th-century art.
