Russian avant-garde [SEP] end time
Russian avant-garde
The Russian avant-garde was a large, influential wave of avant-garde modern art that flourished in Russian Empire and Soviet Union, approximately from 1890 to 1930—although some have placed its beginning as early as 1850 and its end as late as 1960. The term covers many separate, but inextricably related, art movements that flourished at the time; namely Suprematism, Constructivism, Russian Futurism, Cubo-Futurism, Zaum and Neo-primitivism. Given that many avant-garde artists involved were born,
effectively brought Cubo-Futurism to an end, to be replaced by constructivism.
There are copies of "Universal War" in MOMA, New York, and in the Costakis collection.
