Description
The Avant-Gardists: Artists in Revolt in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union 1917-1935 In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, a group of artists transformed the modern world with their radical ideas and innovative art. This biography tells the story of the key figures behind this movement, from Marc Chagall to Vladimir Tatlin, and their struggles to survive under a totalitarian regime. Through personal memories, diaries, and correspondence, author Sjeng Scheijen reveals the energy and determination of the avant-garde artists as they navigated the turbulent years of the 1920s and 1930s. Against a backdrop of social and political upheaval, the artists' art left a lasting legacy that transformed modern art. With a vivid and dynamic style, Scheijen provides exceptional insight into the lives of these avant-gardists, whose art continues to inspire and influence contemporary art.
