Russian Avant-Garde

The Russian avant-garde is a unique, incredibly powerful, and vibrant phenomenon in the history of world culture. The 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 global stars, leaving an undeniable mark in the history of art. Among them were Kazimir Malevich, Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova, Wassily Kandinsky, Vladimir Tatlin, and El Lissitzky.
What initiated the new avant-garde movement and what connection did the Impressionists have with it? What are Inkhuk and GAHN? How did the famous color painting of O. Rozanova come to be? Why is the sign system of V. Stepanova a premonition of the future? Did K. Malevich's "dreams of space" become a reality?
In his new book, Andrey 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 peak of not only national but also world heritage.
