/The Arts of Subversion: Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union/
showcases selections from the Nancy and Norton Dodge Collection, the
most comprehensive collection of Soviet nonconformist art in the world.
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.
