- Title
Vom politischen zum ästhetischen Anarchismus der Avantgarde.
- Authors
Koschmal, Walter
- Abstract
Prince Petr Kropotkin's political anarchism is born from Russian literature. This study's subject is both this birth of anarchism as well as its later avant-garde, anarchistic transformation. Applied anarchy is transformed, at least in theoretical writings, into an aesthetic anarchy in the graphic arts from 1910 to 1930. Wassily Kandinsky's and Kazimir Malevič's writings confirm this. Aesthetic anarchy leads from a destructive phase, seen in Malevič, to a new type of anarchistic art most clearly observed in Kandinsky. The anarchistic concepts of both are presented as two different variations of a deeply Russian avant-garde (Malevič) and a Russian emigre avant-garde (Kandinsky). The study also addresses the question of the transformation of non-verbal violence.
