Aesthetics of Anarchy: Art and Ideology of the Early Russian Avant-Garde
29.99 €
In her groundbreaking study, significantly revised and expanded for the Russian-language edition, Russian and American art historian Nina Guryanova defines the early Russian avant-garde (1910–1918) as an independent movement, not a transitional stage on the way to the constructivism of the 1920s. According to the book's conception, the Russian avant-garde possessed its own ideology, which defined the movement's unique style, technique, methodology, and philosophy. The author defines the aesthetics of anarchy as grounded in a new understanding of art and human creativity: art without rules. This aesthetic manifested itself in the creative energy of artists who transformed established literary, theatrical, and artistic practice, breaking down traditional boundaries within the visual arts and challenging the conventions of their time.
