UNOVIS manifesto

The UNOVIS manifesto was a declaration by a group of pioneering Soviet artists in the 1920s who believed that art should serve social progress and be accessible to everyone. They emphasized innovation, unity of form and idea, and the importance of collaborative creation. The group promoted abstract, modernist styles as a means to break free from traditional art and contribute to a new, collective Soviet identity. Their manifesto encouraged experimentation, practical application, and the idea that art could shape a better society by inspiring change and engaging directly with the masses.
