Първият дисидент в руската литература Евгений Замятин (1884 - 1937) пише романа Ние през 1920 г. Книгата излиза най-напред в САЩ (1924), а после е преведена на основните европейски езици и оказва огромно влияние върху цялото последвало развитие на антиутопията и особено на класиците в този жанр - Олдъс Хъксли , Джордж Оруел и Рей Бредбъри . В Русия романът се появява едва през 1988 г. В Ние авторът изобразява един механизиран до краен предел свят, в който човешката личност е сведена до номер, а обществото е идеално функциониращ мравуняк, където властва диктатура, използваща достиженията на науката и технологиите за ... |

"For a person to write a book like this, he has to love art, passionately and selflessly, and to love, of course, the artist as well. The author possesses these qualities in full measure. But even with the love, enthusiasm, and admiration that permeate the entire book, it in no way amounts to a glorification, veneration, or canonization of Zlatyu Boyadzhiev’s image. Quite the opposite - the author has succeeded in keeping a necessary distance, allowing him the opportunity to combine an up-close and a distant view of the artist. He doesn’t carve a monument, he doesn’t paint an icon; rather, he presents a dynamic image, ... |

Emerging amid the brutality of World War I, the revolutionary Dada movement took disgust with the establishment as its starting point. From 1916 until the mid-1920s, artists in Zurich, Cologne, Hanover, Paris, and New York launched a radical assault on the politics, social values, and cultural conformity which they regarded as complicit in the devastating conflict. Dada artists shared no distinct style but rather a common wish to upturn societal structures as much as artistic standards and to replace logic and reason with the absurd, chaotic, and unpredictable. Their practice encompassed experimental theater, games, ... |
