Complete Course Title:
Chagall, Lissitzky, Malevich: The Russian Avant-Garde in Vitebsk, 1918-1922
Pre-K-12 teachers are invited to join us to explore a little-known chapter in the history of modernity and the Russian avant-garde. Chagall, Lisitzky, Malevich: The Russian Avant-Garde in Vitebsk, 1918-1922 traces the fascinating post-revolutionary years when the history of art was shaped in Vitebsk, far from Russia’s main cities.
The exhibition includes works by Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky, and Kazimir Malevich, as well as works by students and teachers of the Vitebsk school. The workshop will include a visit to the exhibition with Jewish Museum educators and a presentation by Kenneth E. Silver, Silver Professor of Art History, New York University.
