Revolution: New Art for a New World

Revolution: New Art for a New World

Karl Marx once called the revolution a whirlwind that throws back all those who resist it. The beginning of the 20th century turned out to be a time when grandiose political changes in Russia coincided with a revolution in art. Lenin's plan of monumental propaganda, Vsevolod Meyerhold's theatrical biomechanics, Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist painting and Rodchenko's ultra-modern photographs - the culture of this time was caught up in a whirlwind, the emergence of which was predicted by Marx. The film "Revolution" is an English look at Russian art of the beginning of the 20th century, which once turned the whole world upside down.
