In their book "Art and Power," Andrei Sarabyanov and Natalia Strizhkova delve into the historical era spanning from 1917 to the early 1930s, a time when avant-garde artists and Bolshevik leaders collaborated closely to shape new cultural policies and establish a distinct visual language that would convey Soviet ideological principles. Drawing upon previously unseen and unpublished archival materials from the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the authors explore the intricate alliances and conflicts that existed within the artistic community, as well as the significant roles played by renowned figures such as Kazimir Malevich, Vassily Kandinsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Olga Rozanova, Vladimir Tatlin, and the various challenges they encountered in their partnership with the Soviet State. Within a short span of time, these visionaries established new art schools, established numerous educational, research, and experimental laboratories and institutions across Russia, extending their influence even to the remote corners of the former Russian Empire.
Their efforts resulted in the dissemination of art and culture throughout the country, fostering a sense of unity and pride among the Soviet people. The book "Art and Power" serves as a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complex relationship between art, politics, and society during this transformative period, shedding light on the profound impact that these artists and leaders had on shaping the cultural landscape of the Soviet Union.
