Summary of Mikhail Larionov

The groundbreaking work of Mikhail Larionov helped to bring the Russian avant-garde to new prominence in the first decades of the twentieth century. With work rooted in such disparate arenas as folk art, icons, prints, modern science, and optics, Larionov, along with his lifelong partner, Natalia Goncharova, was responsible for introducing not only the first non-objective painting style in Russia, but also a new distinctly Russian style of painting that eschewed Western influence in favor of models based in Russian history and experience.

With wit, determination, and an early penchant for iconoclasm, Larionov sought to pull the backward-looking Russia, still steeped in traditional peasant arts and the mysticism of the Orthodox religion, into the realm of modern art.

Like Kazimir Malevich, he made use of and transformed these seemingly naïve native traditions in order to create a new and radical art for Russia.
