The art spans a period of thirty years, from the mid-1950s, soon after Stalin's death and Khrushchev's rise to power, through the period of stagnation under Brezhnev in the 1970s and Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika in the 1980s. The exhibition includes photographs, lithographs, etchings, oils, and collages by a diverse range of artists, displaying influences from the Russian avant-garde, constructivism, surrealism, conceptualism, and Western abstract impressionism, among others. Presented in celebration of the Center's sixtieth anniversary and the recent gift to the Center of Soviet nonconformist art from Norton and Nancy Dodge, /The Arts of Subversion/ features works from the new Davis Center collection, the Dodge Collection at the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, as well as the Dodges' personal collection. Together, the exhibited works speak to the interrelationship of art and power as reflected in the visual culture of the Soviet Union, and the vitality of the underground culture that emerged there as artists sought to express their own aesthetic voices. -- Parking: To purchase a parking permit for the Broadway Garage (located on Felton Street, between Cambridge Street and Broadway), please visit Harvard University Parking Services at https://www2.uos.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/permit/purchase.pl.
