The Art of Russia

BBC Four - The Art of Russia, Roads to Revolution

How Russian art was affected by the change from a feudal nation to a hotbed of revolution.

Andrew Graham-Dixon follows the history of Russian art. Here, he looks at how art was affected by Russia's change from a feudal nation to a hotbed of revolution.

Andrew Graham-Dixon explores how Russia changed from a feudal nation of aristocratic excess to a hotbed of revolution at the beginning of the 20th century, and how art moved from being a servant of the state to an agent of its destruction. 

From monuments that celebrate the absolutism of the tsars to the epic Russian landscape as inspiration; from the design and construction of gold and glittering palaces to the minutiae of diamond-encrusted Faberge eggs; and eventually to the stark and radical paintings of the avant-garde, the journey through Russian art history is one of extraordinary beauty and surprise.
