Russian Avant-Garde. And Not Only

The Russian avant-garde is a unique, incredibly powerful and bright phenomenon in the history of world culture. The participants in this process were a small community of artists who created a new aesthetic reality in their works. Innovators, seekers, and experimenters, they became world stars, leaving an undeniable mark on the history of art. Among them were Kazimir Malevich, Mikhail Larinov, Natalia Goncharova, Vasily Kandinsky, Vladimir Tatlin, El Lissitzky.
