This groundbreaking book explores the Russian avant-garde during
the early post-revolutionary years of 1918-1922 and brings together
the works of three of its most influential artists. When Marc
Chagall took over the People's School of Art in his hometown of
Vitebsk in 1919, he had already established himself as an
avant-garde artist. For the next few years, Chagall established the
once-sleepy Belarusian town as a hub of revolutionary art making.
Along with Kazimir Malevitch and El Lissitzky, Chagall presided
over a flowering of creativity and artistic energy that became a
focal point of Russian modernism. This volume features 250 works
and documentary items from Vitebsk, bringing to life a little-known
chapter in the history of art. Every aspect of this brief but
decisive period is examined here, from Chagall's notion of
proletariat art to the birth of the UNOVIS group and its
trailblazing expositions. Correspondence among Chagall, Malevitch,
and Lissitzky are featured alongside important works from all three
artists as well as art from their colleagues and students. The
result is a multifaceted portrait of a unique collaboration that
forged a new path for artistic expression which extended far beyond
the boundaries of Vitebsk.
