Cross-listed: Art History
This course will address major developments in Russian modern and
avant-grade art in the first three decades of the 20th c. The course is
multidisciplinary and will allow students to study particular movements, ideas
and seminal names from Mikhail Vrubel and Symbolism to Vladimir Tatlin and
Constructivism. Students will gain an insight into the aesthetic, theoretical
and cultural concerns of the practitioners of Russian experimental arts that
will supplement and enhance their knowledge of the more familiar movements in
modern art history. This course aims to offer students an important methodology
and context for the appreciation of the intrinsic evolution of Russian visual
culture and its contribution to the international art arena. Major paintings,
applied designs and architectural monuments form the visual material essential
to this course, and they will be examined in chronological sequence. These
artifacts will be described and analyzed for their own sake and also as symbols
and manifestations of social, political, and philosophical developments in
Russian modern history.
