32-01 Russian Art 1890-1930

I tell the story of how modern art developed in Russia including the art movements Rayonism, Suprematism and Constructivism. Artists range from Ivan Shishkin and Valentin Serov to Natalia Goncharova, Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall, Alexander Rodchenko, Kazimir Malevitch, Vladimir Tatlin and El Lissitzky. I end with Socialist Realism and 'The Death of Stalin'. The full lecture notes in PDF format are at my website https://www.shafe.co.uk/wp-content/up...
