Description:

One of the most exciting movements in 20thcentury art, Russian art of the Revolution, radically reassessed the role of the artist and of his/her work in society and has had reverberations in Western art which continue today. This course begins with the Russian futurists and traces the manner in which new formal vocabularies and new attitudes towards materials were harnessed after the 1917 Revolution by artists like Popova, Goncharova, Rosanova, Tatlin, Rodchenko, Malevich, etc., to develop a full and multidimensional philosophy for the design of functional objects for the new socialist society.
