Union of Youth. October 2019 - January 2020
The Union of Youth (1910 – 1914/1919) – was the first officially recorded association of experimental and pioneering artists. It had a major impact on the art of the key Russian avant-garde artists of the early XX century – Mikhail Matyushin, Kazimir Malevich, Pavel Filonov, Olga Rozanova, Joseph Shkolnik and others.
The Jewish Museum in cooperation with Encyclopedia of Russian avant-garde will present the first international exhibition ever offering an all-encompassing insight into the Union of Youth and the activity of its members. Some of the 80 works by 35 artists forming the ‘core’ of the association will present an overall picture of the artistic movement, follow the creative path of the Union and analyze processes that preconditioned the development of ideas and traditions of the Russian avant-garde.
