In the apt words of host Hugh Downs: "We are dealing here with art and artists. We are dealing here with a mad, romantic, mystical, inventive, intellectual, intuitive, explosive, passionate, and finally tragic period in the history of art; modern art; twentieth century art. We are dealing here with the mad, romantic, mystical, inventive, intellectual, explosive, passionate and too frequently tragic artists who made it happen. We are dealing here with painting, sculpture, theater, literature, ceramics, fashion, music, design, film, photography and architecture and the ways they were created by the avant-garde in Russia."
The Russian Avant-Garde was a large, influential wave of avant-garde modern art that flourished in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, approximately from 1890 to 1930-although some have placed its beginning as early as 1850 and its end as late as 1960. The term covers many separate, but inextricably related, art movements that flourished at the time; including Suprematism, Constructivism, Russian Futurism, Cubo-Futurism, Zaum and Neo-primitivism. Many of the artists who were born, grew up or were active in what is now Belarus and Ukraine (including Kazimir Malevich, Aleksandra Ekster, Vladimir Tatlin, Wassily Kandinsky, David Burliuk, Alexander Archipenko), are also classified in the Ukrainian avant-garde. The Russian avant-garde reached its creative and popular height in the period between the Russian Revolution of 1917 and 1932, at which point the ideas of the avant-garde clashed with the newly emerged state-sponsored direction of Socialist Realism.
