Russian Avant-Garde

The Russian avant-garde is a unique, incredibly powerful, and vibrant phenomenon in the history of world culture. Participants in this process were a small community of artists who created a new aesthetic reality in their works. Innovators, seekers, and experimenters,... they became world stars, leaving an undeniable mark in the history of art. Among them were Kazimir Malevich, Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova, Vasily Kandinsky, Vladimir Tatlin, and El Lissitzky. Where did the new avant-garde movement begin, and what was the connection to the Impressionists? What are Inkhuk and GAHN? How did O. Rozanova's famous color painting come about? Why is V. Stepanova's symbolic system a prefiguration of the future? Did K. Malevich's "dreams of space" come to fruition? In his new book, Andrei Sarabyanov, a renowned Russian art historian, answers these and many other questions, revealing to the reader the brilliant history of the Russian avant-garde — a shining pinnacle of national as well as global heritage.
