Summary: The catalog of an exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the first major museum survey devoted to the Russian avant-garde. Summary: "In the past twenty years American museums have presented landmark surveys of the major European developments in this history of twentieth century art. Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, and Surrealism have in their turn been surveyed, illuminating their historical and aesthetic accomplishments. Yet of all of the significant modern art movements, the one that has been the least studied and exhibited is the remarkable achievement of the avant-garde active in Russia immediately before and following the Revolution of 1917." -- foreword
