Joking Aside: Vladimir Tatlin and the Absurd
The article queries the conventional interpretation of Vladimir Tatlin’s oeuvre as rational and pragmatic by focusing on more “irrational” aspects such as the visionary and unfeasible Monument to the III International, Letatlin and other, parallel projects that were never constructed or, perhaps, were never meant to be constructed. While acknowledging Tatlin’s debt to Cézanne and Picasso and referring to Formalist critics Punin and Tarabukin and …
“Wings of Freedom”: Petr Miturich and Aero-Constructivism
The article focuses on the aerodynamic experiments of Petr Vasil’evich Miturich (1887–1956), in particular his so-called letun, a project comparable to Vladimir Tatlin’s Letatlin, but less familiar. Miturich became interested in flight during the First World War, elaborating his first flying apparatus in 1918 before constructing a prototype and undertaking a test flight on 27 December 1921—which might be described as an example of Russian Aero-Co…

Catherine's Icon: Pavel Filonov and the Orthodox World
The authors discuss the Orthodox icon which Pavel Filonov (1883-1941) painted in 1908 or 1909 for his sister, Ekaterina, placing it within the broader context of his oeuvre, his family and his understanding of 'religiosity'. Making reference to Filonov's system of Analytical Art and to what he called 'madness', the authors focus on the particular technical devices which he used in the icon and on the podlinnik (or primer) from which he copied the…

Life painting and light painting: Photography and the early Russian avant-garde
‘At worst a colour photograph, at best a graveyard on the edge of town’.1 Kazimir Malevich, ‘Posledniaia glava ncokonchennoi avtobiografii’, in Vasilii Rakitin and Andrei Sarab'anov, eds., N. I. Khardzhiev. Stat'i ob avangarde, Moscow: RA 1997, vol. I, 130. Malevich may well have made this remark after looking through the journal Solntse Rossii (Petrograd), No. 293 (September 1915), which ran an obituary and extensive photographic tribute to Kons…

Newly commissioned essays by leading scholars explore language, r…

Pavel Filonov: An Alternative Tradition
A curious phenomenon of the new Soviet avant-garde is that, with a few major exceptions, it does not appear to derive from the more familiar traditions of Russian nonfigurative and Constructivist art.1 At first glance, the Expressionistic and Surrealistic works of contemporary artists such as Dmitrii Plavinsky, Oskar Rabin, Vladimir Yankilevsky, and Anatolii Zverev seem to be relying on a perverse interpretation of German Modernists such as Kirch…

Constructivism and Russian Stage Design
As we grow more familiar with the history of modern Russian stage design, we come to appreciate a point of great significance to the history of modern Russian theatre: that while the Diaghilev Ballets Russes were enjoying fabulous success in Paris and London just before and after the Great War (and their success was, above all, a visual one), the Russian stage at home was no less productive and no less innovative even though its purpose and scope…
