Aleksandr Rodčenko

Résumé du livre

"At the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, the exhibition "Socialist realisms. Soviet painting from 1920 to 1970" introduces us to fifty significant years in the life of a mosaic of peoples ... An exhibition not to be missed, for several reasons. The first is to analyze through the paintings the animus of the Soviet world from the post First World War, to the Second War up to the Brezhnevian age: fifty strong years of the life of a people, or rather of peoples, under the pressing communist ideology . The second is to observe the formidable influence of ideology on art, typical of totalitarian regimes with the mythologizing of the "leader" and the creation of "new heroes". The third is realizing that, despite the propaganda orientation of many pictorial expressions, the poetic vein of the "great mother Russia" fortunately resurfaces from time to time, giving us moments of uncommon poetry."--Citta Nuova website via Google Translate: https://www-cittanuova-it.translate.goog/la-grande-pittura-sovietica/?ms=005&se=003&_x_tr_sl=it&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc.
