Field Trip: The Russian Avant-Garde
Finally got around to seeing the Chagall & The Russian Avant-Garde exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario. It wasn't spectacular, but there were a few highlights in the show, making it a (mostly) worthwhile visit...
One of my most favourite artists is El Lissitzky, so I was quite excited to see this piece, up close and in real life!
I must confess, seeing it resulted in a lot of smiling (inside and out) and wide-eyed gawking!
And Rodchenko, love love love his work as well:
There was also a separate and smaller exhibit being shown entitled Constructing Utopia: Books and Posters from Revolutionary Russia (1910-1940). This collection definitely contained more of the kind of work I was interested in seeing:
