Description
Providing an informative introduction to several women of the historic Russian avant-garde, John Bowlt’s essay decodes the cultural environment that allowed for radical women artists in the early 20th century, a time when women’s suffrage was a controversial topic. The rise and fall of the ‘Amazons’ (as these women were called) is introduced here in the context of pre-Soviet Russia. The essay offers insight into the socio-political circumstances that allowed Alexandra Exter, Natalia Goncharova, Liubov Popova, Olga Rozanova, Varvara Stepanova, and Nadezhda Udaltsova to work, play, and experiment—not without some prejudices, but despite them.
Originally published in Amazons of the Avant-Garde (1999).
