Architecture and the Russian Avant-garde(Pt2 Tatlins Tower)

Using computer graphics, archive footage and locations in Moscow, this film illustrates Tatlin's contribution to world architecture and how his tower may have looked in Moscow had it been built after the revolution. The film is an extract from a larger documentary film by Michael Craig of opernicus Films about Russian Avant-garde architecture from a documentary series of four films.For more information about this series check our site http://www.copernicusfilms.com

No problem. Its great when people appreciate what you've done, understand it and take something valueable from it.

Beautiful and concise.

[Copernicussun]

The music is one of Prokofiev's compositions. Ballada for Piano and cello

Yes the art history of the victor - Bolshevik art without its politcs a very western interpretation. She Robert Hughes' view Trouble In Utopia for what happened in west when architecture is seen these terms.

@tellyisrubbish i think because they share the same spirit of Russian's avant-gardism around the same era

[jpapare]

I watched the Malevich and it was great. I don't teach art majors. I am trying to keep things on the basic side for my students, so I won't be using the Malevich in class.

why Prokofiev?
