Details
During this one hour lecture, Stuart will be introducing contepts, ideas and works of art which will soon go on display at the Royal Academy for the exhibition: Revolution.
This landmark exhibition will focus on a momentous period in Russian history between 1917, the year of the October Revolution, and 1932 when Stalin began his violent suppression of the Avant-Garde. The exhibition will feature Avant-Garde artists such as Chagall,
Kandinsky, Malevich and Tatlin alongside the Socialist Realism of Brodsky, Deineka, Mukhina and Samokhvalov, amongst others. Photography, sculpture, film, posters and porcelain will be featured alongside paintings. It will present this unique period in the
history of Russian art, when for fifteen years, barriers were opened and the possibilities for building a new proletarian art for the new Soviet State were extensive.
