“ARTISTS IN REVOLUTION: Portraits of the Russian Avant-Garde, 1905-1925”
The following tables provide statistical data on the date and place of birth of various artists, their age at given times (such as in 1905 and 1917), and the year of their first trips abroad to study art. The reader will note that place of birth does not necessarily indicate non-Russian origin, or even a provincial upbringing; some artists of Russian ethnic background were bom in the provinces and others moved to the capitals at an early age. The years in Munich and Paris indicate residence and art education, rather than travel. The designation “x” indicates association with a particular art exhibit, place of residence, or educational institution.
The sources for the statistical data in the tables are widely scattered. Some useful guides to biographical data on Russian artists during the revolutionary period are: Avantgarde Osteuropa 1910-1930 (Berlin: Die Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Bildende Kunst und die Akademie der Künste, 1967) ; Szyman Bojko, New Graphic Design in Revolutionary Russia, trans. Robert Strybel and Lech Zembrzoski (New York: Praeger, 1972); and Werner Schmidt, Russische Graphik des XIX und XX Jahrhunderts (Leipzig: VEB Seemann, 1967).
