"Isms, Russian avant-garde" in the CHA

[SergeiSK]

In one of the halls of CHA opened an exhibition of books, drawings, porcelain and furniture Russian avant-garde. Already a description promises something very interesting - the Russian avant-garde (with icons and Faberge eggs), after all, the main thing that Russia has a history of world culture and art market. Even more interesting that the exhibition is not satisfied with the museum, and one man - Mr. Borovkov, gallery owner, "Russian Avant-Garde 10-30 years", a collector and an expert on books and printed graphics Russian avant-garde, which shows items from his collection. And among them - are, no no in the Tretyakov Gallery or the Russian Museum, or Museum of Mayakovsky.

The exhibition is divided into three sections corresponding to the main lines of Russian avant-garde: Futurism, Suprematism and Constructivism. Her book begins with which began the entire Russian avant-garde in general - is printed on the reverse side of the wallpaper, "Zadok the judges," the authors of the texts in which the brothers were Burliuks, Velimir Khlebnikov, Vasily Kamensky, Elena Guro. Printers swore that wallpaper paper clogs typographical fonts, professional criticism exploded in anger, the audience did not notice anything - the circulation has been scanty.

In 1912, efforts by Alexei twisted Russian Futurists-budetlyane decided on a new print campaign - released a set of cards with pictures, sponsored by Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov and Ivan, Alexander Shevchenko, and Vladimir Tatlin. Complete set of these lithographed postcards - 35 pieces - will be at the show. At the same time twisted published several books in which a lithographic stone and printed images, and text - that is, artists do everything ourselves, by hand, without printing. One of these books, "Old Love", was first framed luchistskimi compositions made by Mikhail Larionov.

According to Anatoly Borovkov, Natalia Goncharova belongs priority in the use of collage for the design of book design. Proof - cover collection "Mirskontsa" with stickers of paper of different textures. The achievements of the Russian Futurists and curator of the exhibition considers the use of accented (with different-sized letters) fonts. The exhibition will see a page from the book "Donkey's Tail and Target" in 1913 - a futuristic poem, printed not only accented characters, but with the words arranged in various directions.

Another rarity - the page of a collection of poems in 1913 "Lefutur", illustrated with drawings of Larionov and Goncharova. The book is due to lithography Larionov depicting a prostitute and says "Shit" was almost completely destroyed by the censor, in the surviving copies of the page tearing. The exhibition shows this page.

Circle of artists and poets who fell under the influence of Suprematism, already. The exhibition will, of course, pamphlets, printed Kazimir Malevich - it's "From Cubism to Suprematism. Scenic new realism" in December 1915. Then Malevich dumbfounded fellow Futurists, suddenly presenting their exhibition Suprematist paintings. In addition to Malevich's Suprematism adepts were Nicholas Suetin and Ilya Chashniki - works, among other things, in china. Painted black and red squares and rectangles Chashniki porcelain cups (and forms used in the traditional, old) - a great rarity and value. Suetin also made in china suprematic vases, or suetony "close Architecton Malevich.

Constructivism that honored the simplicity and usefulness, and blossomed in the early 1920's, was supported by the authorities - and thus covered all aspects of life, from architecture and graphic arts to prints on calico. Journals Lef and New Lef, "Modern Architecture", "Cinema" - most of the work was created by Alexander Rodchenko, who also was the designer of most editions of Mayakovsky, including posters with his poems. Of photomontage, transforming reality revolutionary rhythms, to convertible furniture - constructivism ideas penetrated everywhere. The exhibition will be two chairs, bed, started a theater artist Vladimir Muller in 1932. This is a chronological point in the exposition - the decision of the party all the "isms" in art, except one - realism - were canceled.
