Forbidden Art by Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, Calif.),Gosudarstvennyj russkij muzej Pdf
This elegant book reveals a body of art practice previously and necessarily hidden from public view in both the Soviet Union and the West. Bringing together artists who worked in a broad range of styles and approaches, and often at great personal risk, Forbidden Art reveals artwork that challenged Soviet totalitarianism. From the horrific purges of the Stalin Era, to the time before the Soviet Union's collapse -- when failure to conform could result in loss of employment, imprisonment, or death -- this book documents the heroic legacy of Soviet nonconformist art, and includes a group of scholarly essays on such issues as the relation of Russian "outsider art" to the avant-garde. With a bibliography and artist biographies, this book is a captivating reminder of the artist's role in challenging the status quo.

Art & Literature in East Germany - Resistance Between the Lines by Hermann Selchow Pdf
Dear reader, Anyone expecting a melancholic epitaph for a bygone era in my book "Art & Literature in East Germany - Resistance Between the Lines" will be disappointed. I myself grew up in East Germany and spent half of my life there. There is nothing politically desirable about that time, and nothing of it should be repeated. The other half I spent in united Germany, and while some aspects could have been better, many were indeed better. One had the freedom to adapt or to drift through the years. That seems to be changing lately. What needs to be said sometimes becomes unspeakable. Thoughts must occasionally be rethought. Some words withdraw back between the lines and must be found there. In this context, I want to introduce you to my book - a collection of stories and history about courage, resistance, and creativity during a time of oppression and political change. "Art & Literature in East Germany - Resistance Between the Lines" is a book that captures the secret voices of the artists who lived and worked during the time of the German Democratic Republic. Their stories were often told in secret, hidden between the lines of their works and away from the eyes of censors. They may serve as examples of people who dared to think the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable, despite speech and thought prohibitions. East Germany was marked by an ideological dictatorship in which artists faced numerous challenges. Art was viewed by the party as a means of propaganda and solidifying the socialist regime. Every artistic expression was carefully monitored and controlled. However, despite these restrictive conditions, many found ways to express their ideas and criticisms by pushing the boundaries of what was allowed or subtly resisting the system. In this book, we will immerse ourselves in the world of East German art, which provides insight into the lives of artists who confronted the painful realities of everyday life with their creativity and resistance. The stories you will read here are a mixture of personal experiences, historical events, and art historical analysis. They tell of the difficulties artists faced in East Germany and the innovative methods they used to convey their messages nonetheless. It is my special purpose to present this book to the public and give voice to artists who have been overlooked for too long. Their stories are worth remembering, and they necessarily deserve to be heard again. By engaging with their art and life stories, we can recognize not only the challenges and sacrifices of the past but also the necessity and courage of these extraordinary individuals. This book should also be an invitation to view East German art from a new and more current perspective. It is important to emphasize that this book cannot provide a complete representation of art in East Germany. There are many more artists whose stories have yet to be told. Nevertheless, I hope it serves as a first step in drawing attention to this fascinating and often neglected chapter of art history. My hope is that this book contributes to raising awareness of the importance of art as a means of expression and resistance. The stories you will read in this book are not just a reflection of past times but also an encouragement to uphold the values of freedom, expression, and humanity in every society. It is an invitation for future generations to prevent the truth from needing to be sought between the lines once again. As a reader, you now have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of art in East Germany, to hear the voices of the artists, and to discover the diversity of their works. Dive into the thoughts and emotions embedded in every brushstroke, every line, and every note. Be prepared to be surprised, inspired, and moved. Yours sincerely, Hermann Selchow
Art Judgements: Art on Trial in Russia after Perestroika by Sandra Frimmel Pdf
An unusually large number of court cases against art, artists, and curators have taken place in Russia since the turn of the century. In reference to two of the most prominent, against the organizers of the exhibitions 'Caution, Religion!' and 'Forbidden Art 2006', the author examines the ways in which the meaning of art and its socio-political effects are argued in court: How do these trials attempt to establish a normative concept of art, and furthermore a binding juridical understanding of art? How is the discussion of what is permissible in art being framed in Russia today? Research into the post-Soviet art trials has been mainly journal-driven until today. Only the fairly recent trials of the Pussy Riot activists and Pyotr Pavlensky provoked lengthy publications, but these are mostly concerned with explicitly political and activist art rather than its particular discourse when on trial. This book, however, takes a scholarly approach towards (Russian) art on trial. It puts the cases in a national-historical context, which is compared from international perspectives, and particularly focuses on the way in which these proceedings have intensified juridical power over artistic freedom (of speech) in the production of art in Russia. This book will appeal to academics and students in the areas of art history, cultural science, sociology, and Slavic studies, as well as jurists, curators and museum specialists, researchers and employees in cultural institutions.

Art and Protest in Putin's Russia by Lena Jonson Pdf
The Pussy Riot protest, and the subsequent heavy handed treatment of the protestors, grabbed the headlines, but this was not an isolated instance of art being noticeably critical of the regime. As this book, based on extensive original research, shows, there has been gradually emerging over recent decades a significant counter-culture in the art world which satirises and ridicules the regime and the values it represents, at the same time putting forward, through art, alternative values. The book traces the development of art and protest in recent decades, discusses how art of this kind engages in political and social protest, and provides many illustrations as examples of art as protest. The book concludes by discussing how important art has been in facilitating new social values and in prompting political protests.
In the early winter, the ancient town, which looked a little depressed, was bleak with the cold wind, and a cool breeze blew, and several bright red maple leaves fell from the air, swirling along the dry and pale slate with the breeze, which was particularly bleak. The sunshine in early winter is a little shabby, shooting down from the air, bringing a little warmth to this cold winter.
