A sumptuously illustrated survey of the remarkable flowering of
radical, visionary and experimental design for performance in
Russia in the twenty years between 1913 and 1933. At the beginning
of the twentieth century, Russian theatre produced an unprecedented
period of creative radicalism and collaborative experimentation.
Against the turbulent backdrop of the First World War and the
Russian Revolution, the avant-garde movement transformed Russia's
cultural landscape as visionaries from several disciplines
generated a vortex of innovative performance and design. The
astounding body of work produced by Kazimir Malevich, Alexander
Rodchenko, Vladimir Tatlin, Sergei Eisenstein and Liubov Popova,
among others, overturned traditions in art, music, literature and
theatre. This book explores the importance and influence of a
seminal moment in twentieth-century culture - one that still
resonates today. Published to accompany a major exhibition at
London's Victoria and Albert Museum in association with the
Bakhrushin State Central Theatre Museum in Moscow, this book
includes essays by experts from Russia, Britain and America
illustrated with over 150 images from leading artists and
designers, many of which are previously unpublished. Edited by John
E. Bowlt, Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the
University of Southern California, the result is an astonishing
record of a period of creative innovation that redefined not only
what was possible in theatre and the avant-garde, but in wider
artistic practices too. It will be of interest both to theatregoers
and art historians, as well as current and future designers seeking
inspiration for their own work.
