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.
