Main Galleries, Burlington House<\/h1>\n

One hundred years on from the Russian Revolution, this powerful exhibition explores one of the most momentous periods in modern world history through the lens of its groundbreaking art.<\/p>\n

Renowned artists including Kandinsky, Malevich, Chagall and Rodchenko were among those to live through the fateful events of 1917, which ended centuries of Tsarist rule and shook Russian society to its foundations.Amidst the tumult, the arts initially thrived as debates swirled over what form a new \u201cpeople\u2019s\u201d art should take. But the optimism was not to last: by the end of 1932, Stalin\u2019s brutal suppression had drawn the curtain down on creative freedom.Taking inspiration from a remarkable exhibition shown in Russia just before Stalin\u2019s clampdown, we will mark the historic centenary by focusing on the 15-year period between 1917 and 1932 when possibilities seemed limitless and Russian art flourished across every medium.<\/p>\n

This far-ranging exhibition will \u2013 for the first time \u2013 survey the entire artistic landscape of post-Revolutionary Russia, encompassing Kandinsky\u2019s boldly innovative compositions, the dynamic abstractions of Malevich and the Suprematists, and the emergence of Socialist Realism, which would come to define Communist art as the only style accepted by the regime.<\/p>\n

We will also include photography, sculpture, filmmaking by pioneers such as Eisenstein, and evocative propaganda posters from what was a golden era for graphic design. The human experience will be brought to life with a full-scale recreation of an apartment designed for communal living, and with everyday objects ranging from ration coupons and textiles to brilliantly original Soviet porcelain.<\/p>\n

Revolutionary in their own right, together these works capture both the idealistic aspirations and the harsh reality of the Revolution and its aftermath.<\/p>\n

\u00a318 (without donation \u00a316). Concessions available. Friends of the RA and under 16s go free.<\/p>\n
