Résumé
With the outbreak of World War I Russian avant-garde artists contributed to their nation’s struggle by producing paintings, posters, postcards and prints. This essay examines three examples of Russian responses to the war in the visual arts: the posters designed published by Segodniashnii Lubok (Today’s Lubok, taking its name from a type of popular print or broadsheet), Natalia Goncharova’s lithographic album Mystical Images of War and Olga Rozanova’s cycle of linocuts and collage titled War. The posters of the artists of Segodniashnii Lubok, particularly those designed by Kazimir Malevich, were directly inspired by Russian folk art forms, particularly the lubok. Likewise, Goncharova’s and Rozanova’s war-time prints were inspired by the lubok, but these appropriations of a popular art form were tied to a view of war through the prisms of Apocalypticism as well as Byzantine artistic and spiritual tradition.
