During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order. A group of young artists known as Constructivists, spearheaded in part by Vladimir and Georgy Stenberg, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. They advocated for a utilitarian art that spoke to the masses and their revolutionary aesthetic can still be seen in advertisements and other materials made for the public eye today. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films. UMMA docents will introduce this exhibition that features posters by the Stenbergs and others for some of early cinema’s most inventive films.
