Art and Revolution: Ernst Neizvestny and the Role of the Artist

內容簡介

內容簡介 A wrenching portrait of the Russian sculptor and a tribute to the potential of political art John Berger explores the life and work of Ernst Neizvestny, who, after clashing with Khrushchev, was excluded from the ranks of officially approved Soviet artists. Abandoned to obscurity, Neizvestny laboured to realize a monumental and very public vision of art. Exiled to the United States, he finally found recognition, returning to his homeland with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Berger's account illuminates the very meaning of revolutionary art. In his struggle against official orthodoxy - which brought him into face-to-face conflict with Khrushchev himself - Neizvestny was fight-ing not for a merely personal or aesthetic vision, but for recognition of the social role of art. His sculptures earn a place in the world by reflecting the courage of a whole people, commemorating, in an age of mass suffering, the resistance and endurance of millions.
