The Great Russian Utopia

Published 1 May 1993

This issue of "Art & Design" gives a colourful overview of the work produced during one of the most artistically creative and prolific eras of the 20th century. Russian avant-garde art and design was an expression of a profound change in the sensibility of mankind, a search for a utopia. Guest-editor Victor Arwas, an expert on art and the decorative arts of the early part of this century, provides several informative sections covering avant-garde painting, reliefs, ceramics, books and graphics, stage design collage and photomontage and photography. Work by Lissitzky, Rodchenko, Stepanova, Popova, Tatlina and Malevich as well as many others is presented in full colour and biographies of over 30 artists are also featured.
