In this groundbreaking study, Nina Gurianova identifies the early Russian avantgarde (19101918) as a distinctive movement in its own right and not a preliminary stage to the Constructivism of the 1920s. Gurianova identifies what she terms an aesthetics of anarchyartmaking without rulesthat greatly influenced early twentiethcentury modernists. Setting the early Russian avantgarde movement firmly within a broader European context, Gurianova draws on a wealth of primary and archival sources by individual writers and artists, Russian theorists, theorizing artists, and German philosophers. Unlike the postrevolutionary avantgarde, which sought to describe the position of the artist in the new social hierarchy, the early Russian avantgarde struggled to overcome the boundaries defining art and to bridge the traditional gap between artist and audience. As it explores the aesthetics embraced by the movement, the book shows how artists transformed literary, theatrical, and performance practices, eroding the traditional boundaries of the visual arts and challenging the conventions of their day.
