Its scales have been drawn with what appears to be black marker or charcoal in an Impressionist style on one side and in a Cubist style on the other. The fish has two fins along its underside and a pointed tail, most of which have brightly-colored orange tips, and there is a razor-like saw of a fin on its backside. An orange piece of yarn is tied to its mouth as if the fish had been caught with it, making it easy to hang or pull out of a book. The whole object is about the length of a page and, since it was found in a book, one can assume it was made to be used as a bookmark.

For Punin, Tatlin represented a particular quality of Russian art that made it surpass the latest Cubist innovations in painting coming from France. In 1921, Punin had already written a polemic entitled, “Tatlin (Against Cubism).” In this short work, he argued that Tatlin made the same innovations in art as the French Cubists, but surpassed them because the tradition of icon painting in Russia gave the Russian avant- garde a particular appreciation of the paint surface. The lack of a Renaissance tradition of perspectivalism, according to Punin, also gave the Russian avant-garde a much freer relationship to space. Punin referred to The Fishmonger, as one of three paintings that represented Tatlin’s start in this March 16, 2020 direction. In that painting we can see multiple fish that have the silver and orange coloring as the paper fish found in Punin’s diary. Tatlin’s early experiences with church art, painting icons, and copying wall frescoes, was crucial in the development of his style as well as his ideas about the role of art in More from Digital History revolutionary society. The icon was both a work of art and an object for everyday use.

In 1923, Tatlin became the Director of the Section for Material Culture at the Museum of Painterly Culture. During his tenure there, he authored several documents outlining his general program for the role of material culture in the USSR. In an article written under his direction called “The New Way of Life,” he March 11, 2020 described a series of new projects and prototypes, namely a new design for a coat, and one of five new designs for an oven that could cook and keep food warm for 28 to 30 hours and also keep the home heated economically. Tatlin incorporated the text of “The New Way of Life” into a controversial work of the More from Texas same name, a photo-montage showing images of the designs that were meant to depict that revolutionary new way of life.

Tatlin’s work was revolutionary in that it challenged this traditional boundary between art and the everyday. A New Way of Life, by Vladimir Tatlin (via Russian State Archive of Literature and Art). The fish is an important indication of a close personal and professional relationship between the artist, Vladimir Tatlin, and his admiring critic, Nikolai Punin, and it represents the ways that Tatlin and Punin tried to outline a new revolutionary program for art. It also is an example of that very revolutionary impulse in that it is an object to be contemplated for its aesthetic beauty and also to be used for a utilitarian purpose as a bookmark. Tatlin’s work paved the way for a new interpretation of art as something that could be figurative as well as useful; art in revolutionary society could have a place in the daily lives of every individual and not only in the lofty realm of the art establishment. This little fish offers a window onto the theories of the period of the Russian Revolution, when people sought to rethink the entire Western European model of not only aesthetics but also society.

  • Constructivism (Art) 1 Constructivism (Art)
    Constructivism (art) 1 Constructivism (art) Constructivism was an artistic and architectural philosophy that originated in Russia beginning 1919, which was a rejection of the idea of autonomous art in favour of art as a practice for social purposes. Constructivism as an active philosophy lasted until about 1934, greatly effecting the art of the Weimar Republic and elsewhere, before being replaced by Socialist Realism. Some of its motifs have been reused sporadically since. Beginnings The term Construction Art was first used as a derisive term by Kazimir Malevich to describe the work of Alexander Rodchenko during 1917. Constructivism first appears as a positive term in Naum Gabo's Realistic Manifesto of 1920. Alexei Gan used the word as the title of his book Constructivism, which was printed during 1922.[1] Constructivism was a post-World War I development of Russian Futurism, and particularly of the 'corner-counter reliefs' of Vladimir Tatlin, which had been exhibited during 1915. The term itself would be invented by the sculptors Antoine Pevsner and Naum Photograph of the first Constructivist Exhibition, 1921 Gabo, who developed an industrial, angular style of work, while its geometric abstraction owed something to the Suprematism of Kasimir Malevich. The teaching basis for the new ohilosophy was established by The Commissariat of Enlightenment (or Narkompros) the Bolshevik government's cultural and educational ministry directed by Anatoliy Vasilievich Lunacharsky who suppressed the old Petrograd Academy of Fine Arts and the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture during 1918. IZO, the Commissariat's artistic bureau, was managed during the Russian Civil War mainly by Futurists, who published the journal Art of the Commune.

  • Tatlin. New Art for a New World Museum Tinguely, Basel: 6 June – 14 October 2012
    PRESS RELEASE Basel, April 2012 Tatlin. new art for a new world Museum Tinguely, Basel: 6 June – 14 October 2012 This year the Museum Tinguely in Basel is dedicating its large summer exhibition to one of the most important figures of the Russian avant- garde: Vladimir Tatlin (1885–1953). It is now almost twenty years since the last comprehen- sive retrospective to be devoted to this radically innovative artist. The presented works will include early paintings, counter-reliefs that reach out into the surrounding space, reconstructions of his revolutionary tower, and Unknown photographer, Presentation of Vladimir Tatlin’s Letatlin the flying machine Letatlin. The exhibition is at a glider show, in Moscow, 1933, State Tretyakov-Gallery, Moscow rounded off with examples of his work for the theatre. The œuvre of this outstanding artist from the watershed period at the beginning of the twentieth century will be represented in over one hundred masterpieces, mostly on loan from major collections in Moscow and St Petersburg. Vladimir Tatlin began his career as a seaman. Until 1913 his artistic activities were limited exclusively to painting and drawing. Interested in the traditional fields of icon-painting and folk art, he later transferred his attention to the most modern avant-garde trends in Russia and Western Europe, more precisely Paris. His entire later work is founded on painting. The exhibition will show a comprehensive selection of his early paintings with their bold expanses of colour, rhythmic curves, and striking use of dark and light outlines. In these eye-catching works Tatlin achieved a highly original synthesis of the Russian tradition and the French avant-garde.

  • Model Exhibition*
    Model Exhibition* MARIA GOUGH Despite the fact that it was never realized at full scale, Vladimir Tatlin’s long-lost model for his Monument to the Third International (1920) remains to this day the most widely known work of the Soviet avant-garde. A visionary proposal for a four-hundred-meter tower in iron and glass conceived at the height of the Russian Civil War, the monument was to house the headquarters of the Third International, or Comintern, the international organization of Communist, socialist, and other left-wing parties and workers’ organizations founded in Moscow in the wake of the October Revolution with the objective of fomenting revolutionary agitation abroad. Constructed in his spacious Petrograd studio, which was once the mosaics workshop of the imperial Academy of Art, Tatlin’s approximately 1:80 scale model comprises a skeletal wooden armature of two upward-moving spirals and a massive diagonal girder, within which are stacked four revolving geometrical volumes made out of paper, these last set in motion by means of a rotary crank located underneath the display platform. In the pro - posed monument-building, these volumes were to contain the Comintern’s legislature, executive branch, press bureau, and radio station. According to the later recollection of Tevel’ Schapiro, who assisted Tatlin in his construction of the model, two large arch spans at ground level were designed so that the tower could straddle the banks of the river Neva in Petrograd, the birthplace of the 1917 revolutions. Lost since the mid-1920s, Tatlin’s original model has been reconstructed sev - eral times at the behest of exhibition curators.

  • Vladimir Mayakovsky Had Been Writing Poetry For
    The door between the two rooms had been taken off its hinges to make more space. Mayakovsky stood leaning against the doorframe. He took a small notebook from the inside pocket of his jacket, glanced in it and stuck it back in his pocket again. For a while he said nothing. Then, his eyes sweeping over the room as if it were an enormous auditorium, he read out the prologue, and asked— not in verse, but in prose, in a low, unforgettable voice: You think malaria makes me delirious? It happened. In Odessa, it happened. (trans. george reavey) We raised our heads and did not take our eyes off this miracle until it was all over. Vladimir Mayakovsky had been writing poetry for sev- A MOST JOYOUS DATE A MOST eral years, but this reading of “A Cloud in Trousers” at the apartment of Lili and Osip Brik in July 1915 marked the beginning of a new stage in both his literary and his private life. “The Briks were entranced by his verses and fell in love with them once and for all,” remem- bered Lili’s younger sister, Elsa, who was present at the reading. For Mayakovsky, the encounter with Lili and Osip Brik was a turning point in his life that he was later to describe as “a most joyous date.” By the summer of 1915, the World War had been raging for a year, and it was obvious to most people that it would be followed by sweeping political and social changes. In the aesthetic sphere— in literature, painting, and music—the revolution was already a fact, and Russia was in the vanguard of this process.

  • Vladimir Tatlin: Form/Faktura*
    Vladimir Tatlin: Form/Faktura* MARGIT ROWELL Tatlin's life is known to us in barest outline. Although a large body of his works and writings presumably still exists in the Soviet Union, these are for the most part unseen and unknown by Westerners.' The bases for study of this artist, considered the founder of constructivism, are therefore sparse: a small number of paintings, drawings, miscellaneous objects and fragments of objects; a few photographs, texts, and eyewitness reports, which are accessible outside Russia. Since no quantity of work ever found its way to the West, far less firsthand documentation is available for Tatlin than for Malevich, say, or Lissitzky. Yet Tatlin is as celebrated as they, as honored as they are for his contributions to the art of the twentieth century. We can only conjecture that the high points of his creative activity are known to us and, although few, they are, like the greater bodies of work by his better known contemporaries, exemplary and a valid point of departure. From these remaining fragments we can draw a profile of Tatlin's achievement and see that it is at one and the same time profoundly Russian and extremely modern. That is to say, Tatlin drew on the peculiarly Russian concep- tions of faktura and transrational language to envision an art that would consist of a semantic encoding of pure materials. The biographical framework of Tatlin's life is fairly familiar. Born in Moscow in 1885,2 he was fifteen years younger than Malevich, eight years older * This essay was originally presented as a lecture, in French, at the Grand Palais in Paris on February 14, 1978.

  • Conflicting Approaches to Creativity? Suprematism and Constructivism
    Chapter 13 Conflicting Approaches to Creativity? Suprematism and Constructivism Christina Lodder We tend to think of Suprematism and Constructivism as being diametrically opposed in their approach to the work of art and the process of creativity. In part, this is because of the overt animosity that existed between Kazimir Malevich and Vladimir Tatlin, who are regarded as the leaders of these two movements. This enmity has usually been regarded as the result of the long- standing rivalry between the two artists, which had been strengthened by the competitive atmosphere that characterised the pre-revolutionary Russian art world.1 By the early 1920s, personal antagonisms had been reinforced by sev- eral crucial and substantial creative and theoretical differences, some of which pre-dated the Revolution, although many had appeared with particular inten- sity after the emergence of Constructivism in March 1921. Constructivism’s emphasis on industry, technology, utility, and Commu- nism seemed completely at odds with Suprematism’s more explicitly aesthetic, spiritual and metaphysical content. In 1924, Malevich stressed, ‘those who know Suprematism and Constructivism will not confuse these two phenom- ena’.2 He was particularly opposed to the importance that the Constructivists gave to technology and utility. For Malevich, Constructivism represented the ‘academicism of technology’,3 and its focus on objects of practical necessity 1 For a penetrating analysis of the relationship between Malevich and Tatlin, see Charlotte Douglas, ‘Tatlin und Malewitsch: Geschichte und Theorie 1914-1915 / Tatlin i Malevich: istoriia i teoriia 1914-1915’, in Jürgen Harten, ed., Vladimir Tatlin: Leben, Werk, Wirkung.
