Art Under Communism
Free
17 Mar 2010
During the period 1917 to 1945 artists, and subsequently the state, attempted to define the political role of art. Dr Mike O’Mahony of the History of Art Department at the University of Bristol traces this fascinating trajectory through the rise and fall of the Soviet avant-garde to the emergence of Socialist Realism - “intrinsically an art of the past, present and future.”
