In this groundbreaking study, Nina Gurianova identifies the early
Russian avant-garde (1910-1918) as a distinctive movement in its
own right and not a preliminary stage to the Constructivism of the
1920s. Gurianova identifies what she terms an "aesthetics of
anarchy" - art-making without rules - that greatly influenced early
twentieth-century modernists. Setting the early Russian avant-garde
movement firmly within a broader European context, Gurianova draws
on a wealth of primary and archival sources by individual writers
and artists, Russian theorists, theorizing artists, and German
philosophers. Unlike the post-revolutionary avant-garde, which
sought to describe the position of the artist in the new social
hierarchy, the early Russian avant-garde struggled to overcome the
boundaries defining art and to bridge the traditional gap between
artist and audience. As it explores the aesthetics embraced by the
movement, the book shows how artists transformed literary,
theatrical, and performance practices, eroding the traditional
boundaries of the visual arts and challenging the conventions of
their day.
