Painting Revolution

Until the breakup of the former Soviet Union, many pioneering artworks by the Russian avant-garde were stored away. They are part of this collection of 85 rarely seen figurative and abstract paintings. Dating primarily from 1907 to the 1930s the work represents 32 artists, many of whom had a profound effect on the course of modern art. Included are works by Kandinsky, Malevich, Goncharova, Larionov, Popova, Rodchenko and Tatlin. A programme of free theatre performances, gallery talks, lectures, films and concerts is offered in conjunction with this exhibition.
