A Century of Russian Art, 1900-2000 focuses on the artists, ideas and movements which contributed to Russia’s cultural renaissance during the first years of the twentieth century and continued to provide Soviet and then post-Soviet art with its distinguishing characteristics. Through comparative essays regarding the Silver Age, the avant-garde, or Constructivism and the applied arts, in addition to appreciations of individual artists such as of Chagall, Filonov, Kandinsky, Malevich, Miasoedov, Nikritin, Popova, Rodchenko and Tatlin, A Century of Russian Art describes the principal semaphores of modern Russian art, concentrating on Symbolism and the plastic arts, the move towards abstract painting, the time of Revolution, the ascendancy of Socialist Realism, and the non-conformist trends.
