Russian art of the post-Russian Revolution times opened at the Main Galleries of Royal Academy of Arts on February 11, the gallery website reports.

This far-ranging exhibition aims to survey the entire artistic landscape of post-Revolutionary Russia, encompassing innovative art of Vassily Kandinsky, Chagall and Rodchenko, dynamic abstractions of Malevich and the Suprematists, and the emergence of Socialist Realism.

The exhibition completed the show with photography, sculpture, film of such pioneers as Eisenstein, and evocative propaganda posters from what was a golden era for graphic design. A full-scale recreation of an apartment designed for communal living and filled with everyday objects presents the real human experience brought to life.

“Revolutionary in their own right, together these works capture both the idealistic aspirations and the harsh reality of the Revolution and its aftermath,” comment the exhibition's organisers.

The exhibition to conclude on April, 17.
