Illustrated Lecture: Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde Art 1900-1935 by Christine Lindey
Friday 2 December 7pm
Early 20th-century artists such as Goncharova, Kandinsky and Malevich created modernist art that challenged late Tsarism's aesthetic, political and social norms. In the Bolshevik era artists such as Tatlin, Popova and Rodchenko put avant-garde art at the service of the Revolution by applying modernist aesthetics to the production of textile designs, ceramics, posters and illustrations for the benefit of the working class. This illustrated lecture will explore the social, political and aesthetic debates that underlay this vibrant period in Russian and Soviet art and design.
