Or: avant-gardists in public service -- Tatlin's tower -- The avant-gardists take to the provinces -- The last laboratory -- Family ties -- The flying bicycle -- Farewell "October 1917. The Russian Revolution wipes the old tsarist empire off the map. Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Lyubov Popova, Alexander Rodchenko, Olga Rozanova, Vladimir Tatlin, and other avant-garde artists participate in the revolutionary struggle, transforming inner cities with their progressive murals, posters, installations, and performances. The new political leaders soon want nothing to do with these radical artists. While their reputation is growing in Europe, they experience increasing pressure in the Soviet Union. Against a background of violent social and political change, Sjeng Scheijen describes with compassion and humor the events that shaped the artistic revolution in The Avant-Gardists, the first illustrated biography to relate the rise and fall of the leading figures of the Russian avant-garde. From philosophical and political subversion, involvement with the Bolshevik administration, and links with Europe to violent repression, incarcerations, and torture in the 1930s under Stalin, events are narrated through artists’ personal memories, drawn from existing and important new archival findings. Excerpts from diaries and correspondence reveal the extent of the avant-garde’s energy and determination to survive a totalitarian regime, civil war, hunger, and terror. Scheijen’s vivid, dynamic style; authoritative command of his source material; and extensive original research provide exceptional insight into the lives of these avant-gardists, whose art transformed modern art." |
