Description
Moscow Vanguard Art: 1922-1992 A comprehensive survey of art in Moscow during the Soviet era, this book explores the spirit of artistic experimentation in the face of political repression. Margarita Tupitsyn's work brings together the Russian avant-garde, socialist realism, and Soviet postwar art, highlighting the differences and commonalities between these three epochs. Through a combination of art history, criticism, and political theory, Tupitsyn maps the development of artistic movements in Moscow, from the establishment of institutional and financial independence to the creation of theoretical and visual models across various media. Generously illustrated, this book provides a unique insight into the world of Soviet art, demonstrating that despite political repression, the spirit of artistic experimentation continued to thrive. Published in 2017, this groundbreaking volume marks the centennial of the October Revolution, offering a fresh perspective on the complex history of Moscow's art scene.
