Breaking the Ice: Moscow Art, 1960-80s
Interesting exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery looking at the art which came out of the
Moscow underground from about 1960 to 1990.
I would have liked
more explanation with these works as my Russian history was not good enough to
put the works in context. Also I didn’t understand some of the section heading
such an analytical art. I think this would have helped me appreciate the works
more.
I liked the super
real large paintings near the end by Vitaly Komar and Alexander Lemamid such as
the Stalin in front of a mirror. Also the works by Illya Kabakov with rosettes
of the colours used in the picture stuck on to them.
