The Russian Experiment in Art by Camilla Gray

Description: Description from goodreads.com: Late nineteenth and early twentieth century Russia was tailor made for the genesis of exciting and innovative developments in the arts. Modernizing the economy but not the political system created chaos and revolution. In the world of art it created a historic opportunity, in which it seemed that everything was up for grabs.From the morass emerged some of the twentieth century's greatest artists; Goncharova, Malevich and Kandinsky to name just three. This was a time of rapid change in artistic styles and big ideas. A new world was being born out of the decaying corpse of the old and art was reflecting this as never before.Camilla Gray wrote this book in the early 1960s when she was in her 20s and it is brilliant. It is thoroughly researched and all the various movements are documented and potted histories provided for all the key players.
