“Revoliutsiia! Demonstratsiia! Soviet Art Put to the Test”

When Russia became the Soviet Union in 1917, artists and designers reacted by creating a new visual language befitting of a revolutionary society. More than 550 works populate this exhibit, including Soviet-era posters, films, theater sets and even a recreation of a gallery exhibition room circa 1926, complete with much of the art that was originally displayed in it.
