"The second Russian avant-garde." According to Grobman

Сообщение от Eugene

Mikhail Grobman :...." second Russian avant-garde "heroic period" (35 from 250 million chelovekogolov Soviet empire) - is completely gone from the Soviet "culture" of outcasts who lived independently and excellent aesthetics from the standard concepts (here is intertwined not acceptable official world asociality).
Each of the participants in the different styles of artistic group created their own world of characters and their own world of poetry.

In parallel, there was a world of unofficial art.

These artists did not receive money orders, they are not mentioned by the press. That is technically their fate was similar to the fate of the avant-garde.

Style of informal affiliation was varied, eclectic, and was reduced to various imitations already known examples of modernism.

Informal were disinterested, free and brought to the art, but their work force is secondary has not been recognized among the avant-garde. Measure the novelty of the artistic language and the power of poetic expression of an artist's avant-garde artists have been many debates, and thus elaborated a consensus.
Nevertheless, the boundaries between avant-garde and the informal part were pretty vague, and often happens that an artist belonged to an almost avant-garde, but still could not go past a certain line, and thus missed the confession.

Themselves avant-garde, as a rule, clearly knew who belonged to a group and who is not, and this understanding was not cluttered with gravity - we often discuss the various "candidates" for membership in our circle. That is a group with no formal organization, nevertheless there was a rather strict limits ....."
