1910s Russian avant-garde

The 1910s Russian avant-garde was a revolutionary artistic movement that sought to break away from traditional forms and explore new, modern ideas in art, literature, and design. Influenced by political changes and the tumultuous environment leading up to the Russian Revolution, artists embraced abstraction and experimentation. Key figures included Kazimir Malevich, who developed Suprematism, and Vasily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract painting. This movement aimed to reflect the rapidly changing world and express new social visions, blending art with politics and pushing the boundaries of creativity in Russia and beyond.
