[Russian avant-garde] Neo-primitivism.

Manifesto of the avant-garde artist Alexander Vasilyevich Shevchenko (1883-1948).Rare and important Russian Art essay. A. Shevchenko was a highly influential painter and art theorist whose book coined the term "Neo-Primitism." He defined it as a new form of art that blended Cézanne, Cubism and Futurism with traditional Russian folk art such as the icon and the lubok or popular picture sheet. He was a Russian and Soviet painter and graphic artist, art theorist, avant-garde artist. Shevchenko was educated (1899-1909) at the Stroganov School (especially highlighting this school for professionalism), at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (on the course of K. A. Korovin) and in Paris — at the Academy of R. Julian and in the workshop of E. Carrier. In the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture he became close to M. F. Larionov and, inspired by his theories (luchism — partly, neo-primitivism — seriously), he participated in the exhibitions "Donkey's Tail", "Target" and "No. 4" (1912-14). A. V. Shevchenko was also a participant of exhibitions of the associations "World of Art", "Union of Youth", "Makovets", "Society of Moscow Artists". In an illustrated publisher's cover.
