Choosing a
particular period from 1800 to the present, in what ways has art or
design responded to the changing social and cultural forces of that
period? (2 specific examples)
I have chosen to write an essay about the years immediately after the Russian Revolution during the period of Russian Constructivism. I will be exploring the vast political, social and cultural changes and how they caused the rejection of autonomous art and design due to new socialist principals.
BIBLIOGRAPHY:
Milner, J. (1987) Russian Revolutionary Art. London, Bloomsbury. Ref(709.47)
A book which seems to cover many aspects of art and design during and after the revolution, but also goes into specifics focusing on main protagonists in the design world at the time: Malevich, Tatlin, Rodchenko, Vertov, etc.
Tupitsyn, M. (2009) Rodchenko and Popova: Defining Constructivism. London, Tate Publishing. Ref(759.92)
Focuses specifically on how Rodchenko and Popova's work reflected changing social and cultural changes and how they became known as pioneers of Russian Constructivism.
Lodder, C. (1983) Russian Constructivism. New Heaven and London, Yale University Press. Ref(709.47)
A comprehensive book about many aspects of Russian Constructivism. Also links Artists/ Designers and their work back to social and political theory of post-revolutionary Russia.
King, D. (2009) Red star over Russia: a visual history of the Soviet Union. London, Tate Publishing. Ref(709.47)
Focuses on the period between 1917 and the death of Stalin in 1953. This is a much larger period of time that I wanted to look at but it describes an interesting shift between the death of Lenin and Stalin's rise to power and also looks into the much darker sides to Russian communism and how this was not allowed to effect design.
Wye, D. and Rowell, M. (2002) The Russian avant-garde book: 1910 - 1934. New York, The Museum of Modern Art. Ref(709.47)
An exhibition Book showcasing design and some poetry it seems. This book is interesting because it has many different aspects of design including children's books, newspapers, pamphlets as well as the usual big posters and socialist projects.
