Leonid Heller, A journey into the land of anarchy : the road of Utopia.
In this essay, we deal with what we call the "anarchist component" of Russian modernism. At first, we discuss the fascination of a large number of prominent modernist artists, — Western and Russian as well — , for the issues that have been put forward by the anarchist thought. This fascination was favored in Russia by the secular domestic tradition. Then we show that the avant-garde of the 1910"s-1920's was initially attracted and made its contribution to the anarchist ideology and structures (such as press). The instances of Khlebnikov and Rodchenko illustrate this point. The second part of the essay outlines the Utopian and polemic writings of the notorious anarchist activists of the revolutionary era, the Gordin brothers. We point out the numerous relations that seem to exist between the Gordins' work and the modernist attitude toward the world, art, and politics. A brief comment on several other anarchist writers closes this attempt to delimitate our object of investigation for a future and more thorough treatment. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
