The Exhibition “Composition-Construction-Production. Russian Avant Garde and Contemporary Art” in the State Museum of Modern Art.

Don’t miss out on the chance to meet the phases and the evolution of the Russion Avant Garde

Meet the geometric Abstract paintings, the construvistic experimentation till the industrial production of useful objects.
The title of the exhibition was inspired by three words that were very important for the Russian avant-garde art movement, since they can be found in many works of the period, while they also serve to describe the stages and evolution of the movement, from the early geometrically abstract experimentations in painting to constructivism and the industrial - scale production of utilitarian objects.

The SMCA’s Costakis collection includes art works and everyday objects dating from 1900 to 1930, a period which is known in the history of art as the Russian Avant-Garde; the collection also features various and diverse currents of nonobjective art and its representatives, who consciously worked in order to overthrow the artistic establishment, to integrate art in every day life and achieve the utopian socialist society promised by the Russian Revolution. At the same time, the collection itself reflects the involvement of revolutionary and Soviet Russia artists in all types of art forms and techniques.
