Russian Avant Garde
Russisk Avantgarde
A group of prominent Russian artists from the beginning of the century personify a turbulent period in the country’s recent history: Malevic, Filonov, Tatlin and the ideologue and commissar Nikolai Punin. This is a dramatic story about a group of radical artists betrayed by the communist regime after having dedicated their lives to the revolution. Only since perestroika have museum archives seen the light of day and released these forbidden works of art.
