The Illustrated Constitution of the Russian Federation
Moskva / Rossiya
2003
The "Art Constitution", the Illustrated Constitution of the Russian Federation, unites artists of different generations. More than 100 artists participated in the project of Ivan Kolesnikov, Sergei Denisov, and Petr Vois supported by the Moscow Museum of the Modern Art, S.Art Gallery, and the Kolodzei Art Foundation, Inc. The project, comprised entirely of works from the last 10 years, enables the viewer to trace the evolution and view the complete spectrum of contemporary Russian art through the illustration of each of the Constitution's Articles. The Art Constitution unites living artists who began their careers during Khrushchev’s Thaw and the artists who started their careers in the post-Soviet period, all of whom now enjoy the benefit and challenge of artistic freedom in the new Russia. It is important to note the individuality of each work, and of each artist, incorporated in this project. Almost all the artistic trends and movements of the second half of the 20th century are represented. These 137 illustrations represent different aspects of the Russian art and views of the Russian life. (Presseinformation: kolodzeiart.org) Umfangsangabe : 353 S. : zahl. Ill.
