Document Summary
Ideas/processes of mechanizations and industrialization are also the process of war: nations did not become industrialized in reaction to war but became willingly engaged in war because of their degree of industrialization. This notion brings us into the revolution of october 1917, where the russian tsar is overthrown by lenin (a member of the avant garde) The avant guard promised to bring russia to better times (red-communist. Russia was very agricultural, little industry: mechanization began to enter life (i. e. mechanisms of war) People asking what will the art of the revolution be: essentially is a utopian question, new future (of equality) therefore new artistic expression. Avant garde art culture existed before revolution, but got pushed by the revolution. Textile design: theatre costumes, sports uniforms freedom in movement freedom in expression no longer restricted by victorian ideals. Ephemeral ornamentation: meant to express entire revolution at once, grande, abstract. Vladimir tatin, monument to the third international (1920)
