Revolution: Russian Art 1917–1932 delves into a pivotal epoch in modern history through the lens of its groundbreaking art. This volume commemorates the centennial of the Russian Revolution, examining the transformative period between 1917 and 1932. The book explores how the October Revolution spurred artists like Malevich, Tatlin, Popova, and Rodchenko to redefine artistic expression, seeking a new "people’s art." This quest led to radical innovations across painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, film, and graphic design.
The narrative highlights the shift from boldly innovative compositions by Kandinsky and dynamic abstractions by Malevich to the Constructivists' attempts to merge art with technical engineering. The book further elucidates how these diverse artistic explorations were curtailed in 1932 when Stalin's regime suppressed the avant-garde in favor of Socialist Realism. This volume is based on a remarkable exhibition held at Leningrad’s State Russian Museum in 1932, marking the end of avant-garde art in Russia. It offers a comprehensive survey of painting, sculpture, photography, film, poster art, and product design from this era.
Featuring contributions from leading scholars such as John Milner, Natalia Murray, and others, Revolution provides an authoritative exploration of the idealistic aspirations and harsh realities of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath. It examines the artistic landscape of post-Revolutionary Russia, revealing the revolutionary changes across various mediums and the debates that shaped the era's artistic identity.
