Arts and space exploration, 1900-1930. Kandinsky, Malevich, Tattlin
Arts and space exploration, 1900-1930. Before the space age began with the launch of Sputnik in 1957, and the dream had become reality through the ideas of visionary artists. Kandinsky, Malevich, Tattlin and other members of the Russian vanguard, were inspired by the quest for other worlds and in the cosmos, so that his works and in the early decades of the twentieth century reflected, with its abstract vocabulary, the flight of first aircraft and the first space experiments that would take place years later. These works have been gathered in the exhibition, they examines the close relationship between art and Russian science before and after the October Revolution of 1917. Curators: John E. Bowlt, Nicoletta Misler and Maria Tsantsanoglou.
