The Art of Russia
Smashing the Mould
S1 E3:
From post-revolutionary posters to art under Putin, British historian Andrew Graham-Dixon takes us on a trip through Russian art. He roots through portraits of Stalin that are no longer in public view, sees how the Moscow Metro transformed into a public gallery, and ends with the chaotic art of Putin’s Russia – from sculptures of the leader to the insides of a giant erotic apple.
