Russian Avant-Garde | HOW TO SEE the art movement with MoMA curator Roxana Marcoci

For the hundredth anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, MoMA curator Roxana Marcoci explains how artists such as Malevich, Rodchenko, and Vertov attempted to revolutionize Russian society through new means of artistic production-and how the styles developed by the Russian Avant-Garde still affect how we look at art today.

Malevich is unique and unsurpassed. Not just as a self-taught artist, but as a pioneer.

This is a great video and very educational. The explanation that Roxana Marcoci gives us is of high quality.

[@SATURATORTV]

Malewicz was born in Kiev, to an ethnic Polish family. He is considered a Russian painter and art theorist but he was of Polish origin; in his application for a French visa, he stated his Polish nationality and also signed his paintings in Polish. Thank You .

[@PsoriasisChannel]

Thank you for this video. I love your complete explanation and would like to chat with you about art some time in the future.

Very good summary. What is great about suprematism is how it stands in contrast to the more anti feminist forms you see in the earlier modernistic and cubist works. To a certain extent it shows the genesis of thinking of Ayn Rand. Many forms of Picasso, Matisse, de Kooning do not reach the universality of Malevich and the genre.

[@jaytamondong2591]

i love all the works , great works

[@alanoneill3065]

do you notice how in the past year, comments here are about Ukraine...not about the art?

[@trace-mark]

Great

Ádoro el arte

Malevich is not Russian. Malevich was not only born on the territory of Ukraine, but also strongly identified as Ukrainian. His works reflect Ukrainian motifs and the destructive influence of Soviet ideology on Ukrainians.

[@emilasadow]

Malevich - he's not Russian, he is from Ukraine

[@alanoneill3065]

I Always like to hearing comments like this - guys, common, it's just ordinary geometric forms! kids can do the same! OMG. How stupid you are critics of avang ard. When i facing with that situation in my life, i remember how people couldn't understand Night Watch.

[@lukasz9889]

Malewicz wasn't Ukrainian or Russian. He was Polish artist born in noble Polish family, speaking Polish.

[@catowarmeowson9964]

[@posthumouspriest]

Ukranian, not Russian

[@kauvehrusta9326]

[@dhungryarchitect]

Should you really explain art? Lol

[@logicdub]
