Russian avant-garde movement

The Russian avant-garde was a pioneering art movement in the early 20th century that challenged traditional aesthetics and explored new forms of artistic expression. It emerged around 1910, influenced by revolutionary ideas and rapid societal change following the Russian Revolution. Artists like Kazimir Malevich and El Lissitzky experimented with abstract shapes, geometries, and bold colors to convey modernity and revolutionary fervor. The movement encompassed diverse styles such as Suprematism and Constructivism, emphasizing innovation, functionalism, and the integration of art into everyday life. Overall, it aimed to redefine art’s role in shaping a new, revolutionary society.
