The Maillol Museum, in Paris, presents a comprehensive overview of the Russian avant-garde painters of the 1910-1930 period.
A superb selection of oil paintings, watercolors and drawings, from the collection Costakis, tracks the incredible creativity and the diversity of artists that marked symbolism, suprematism, constructivism and the beginning of the return to figuration in the late 20s, before socialist realism returned in an authoritarian way.
Alongside of now famous artists - Malevich, Popova, Klioun, Rodtchenko, Lissitzky, Tatlin – one discovers the works, often surprising, of unknown painters and displayed in France for the first time, such as Kudriashev, Redko, Matiouchine, Ender, Filonov, Nikritine …
The lithograph presented on the previous page is by Lissitsky (1919).
The painting presented on this page is by Rodtchenko (1920).
