The Vectis Decorative & Fine Arts Society return tomorrow (Thursday) continuing their season of art lectures on the Isle of Wight.
Historically held at Medina Theatre, the venue for the monthly lectures has now moved to Quay Arts Centre in Newport.
Russian and Soviet Art
Tomorrow (Thursday) evening, Theodra Clarke presents a talk about Russian and Soviet Art.
The aim of the lecture is to introduce us to a variety of artists working at a dynamic time in Russian history. Theodora offers a short introduction to an intriguing period of artistic and political evolution in Russia.
She will present the major movements and artists of early 20th century Russian art and place the various “isms” of the avant-garde within a wider cultural context. Major artists to be considered include Kandinsky, Malevich, Tatlin, Lissitzky, Goncharova, Chagall, Rodchenko and Popova.
