The Russian Avant-Garde was an influential art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, particularly during the period leading up to and following the Russian Revolution of 1917. It encompassed various forms of artistic expression, including painting, sculpture, architecture, and literature, and sought to break away from traditional styles and conventions. Key figures included artists like Kazimir Malevich and Vladimir Tatlin, who explored new ideas and techniques, emphasizing abstraction and experimentation. This movement was characterized by its radical approach to art and its connection to social and political change. The Constructivist and Suprematist movements were significant branches of the Avant-Garde, focusing on utilitarian art and pure geometric forms, respectively. The Russian Avant-Garde had a lasting impact on modern art, influencing movements worldwide and paving the way for future artistic innovations.
