Revolution: Russian Art 1917–1932

Art Historian Theodora Clarke examines works by leading artists in the Russian avant-garde, Sofya Dymshits-Tolstaya and Lyubov Popova, in this in-gallery talk celebrating International Women’s Day 2017.

This talk by Theodora Clarke examines the work of these important female artists, who were equal to their male contemporaries in the Soviet Union, within this intriguing period of artistic and political evolution in Russia.

Theodora Clarke is a curator, art historian, critic and freelance journalist. She is the Founder of Russian Art & Culture and was Director of Russian Art Week in London. She lectures widely on both Russian and modern art across the UK and abroad and is a frequent and popular commentator on culture, travel and politics in TV, print and radio.
