The volume opens up with an extensive article titled \u0026#39;Formalism in Painting\u0026#39; by the editor-in-chief and one of the most notorious soviet art critics, Osip Beskin. The most pejorative, but extremely vague term \u0026#39;formalist\u0026#39; was applied to any artist whose creativity was marked by an aesthetic practice outside of the \u0026#39;realist\u0026#39; method and devoid of ideological content. Through an analysis of artistic methods of avant-garde artists, such as Kazimir Malevich, Ivan Klyun, NikolaiSuetin, Pavel Filonov, David Shterenberg and others, Beskin concluded that formalist art was in conflict with Soviet socialist reality. According to the critic, it is the different mind-set and the individual language of formalist artists that make them dangerous, as their art may influence the workers\u0026rsquo; minds and thus distort their perception of reality. The article is an early example of the stigmatisation of any artistic practices that differed from the Socialist Realism doctrine.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIskusstvo\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;(Kunst) was een tweemaandelijks kunsttijdschrift en de belangrijkste publicatie van de Unie van Sovjetkunstenaars. Die laatste werd in 1933 opgericht na de afschaffing van alle niet-offici\u0026euml;le periodieke pers, volgend op het decreet van april 1932. Dit nummer opent met \u0026#39;Formalisme in de schilderkunst\u0026#39;, een lang artikel van\u0026nbsp;Osip\u0026nbsp;Beskin, hoofdredacteur en een van de beruchtste Sovjet- kunstcritici. De pejoratieve \u0026ndash; maar uiterst vage \u0026ndash; term \u0026#39;formalistisch\u0026#39; werd toegepast op elke kunstenaar wiens esthetische praktijk niet \u0026#39;realistisch\u0026#39; was, noch een ideologische inhoud had. Middels een analyse van de artistieke methoden van avant-gardekunstenaars als Kazimir\u0026nbsp;Malevitsj, Ivan\u0026nbsp;Klyun, Nikolai\u0026nbsp;Suetin, Pavel\u0026nbsp;Filonov, David\u0026nbsp;Shterenberg\u0026nbsp;en anderen, concludeerde\u0026nbsp;Beskin\u0026nbsp;dat formalistische kunst in strijd was met de socialistische Sovjet-realiteit. Volgens de criticus is het omdat ze een andere mentaliteit hebben en een individuele taal gebruiken, dat formalistische kunstenaars gevaarlijk zijn, want hun kunst kon de geest van de arbeiders be\u0026iuml;nvloeden en daardoor hun perceptie van de werkelijkheid verstoren. Het artikel is een vroeg voorbeeld van de stigmatisering van artistieke praktijken die afweken van de socialistisch-realistische doctrine.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
