Additions to Artistic Groups of the 19-20th Centuries
Group of Five exhibition, 1940.
Lev Zevin's works exposition.
As you know, I have added in February a whole section, devoted to the various artistic groups in which the artists have organized and re-organized themselves in the 19th-20th centuries. This was done for two main purposes:
-
to help you feel the intricate dynamics of the artistic life,
-
to allow better understanding of the biographies and text, which all mention this group or other.
In May I have added 2 new groups the the 45 already published:
To see the full list of the groups go to the Artistic Groups of the 19-20th Centuries page.
In future, I shall also publish the list of abbreviations and terms, which would further help you understand what is being said. Having no art education, I know well how it feels to read an article and only understand half of it. I prepare these pages the way I would have liked them to be for myself. Please feel free to give me feedback and suggestions.
In addition, I have also expanded and updated the Thirteen movement page, while working on Mavrina (see first article).
How do they connect? Well, the ROST Society has served as starting point to many of the young members of the Thirteen movement. And the Group of Five I discovered while searching for material on the ROST society, I have never heard or seen it mentioned anywhere before. It appears, this was the only group formed AFTER the famous disbanding order of the authorities in 1932. |
