This exhibition presents over fifty photographs from the four final decades of the Soviet era, a period that corresponds with TMORA’s concurrent painting exhibition From Thaw to Meltdown. Drawn from the collection of Thomas Werner, professor and director of the BFA program at New York’s Parsons New School for Design, these black-and-white images show Soviet citizens in social, educational, and familial settings that both conformed to the dictates of the regime and reflected their own versions of reality.
This 20th century Russian-American artist is renowned as much for his impressionistic scenes of the American southwest as for his Russian roots. Features paintings on loan from Russian and American museums and private collections.
This exhibition examines the themes of industrial work in Soviet painting in the post-Stalin era. Profound and lasting transformations in society took place after Stalin’s death in 1953. The decades following WWII saw a gradual relaxation of the ideological restrictions previously imposed by the Communist Party. The recognizably Stalinist painting aesthetic—highly idealized and formulaic—gave way to a more diverse thematic environment.
