More DescriptionExhibition catalogue accompanying the UNM Art Museum exhibition The Blinding Light of History/ Genia Chef, Ilya Kabakov, and Oleg Vassiliev: Russian Paintings and Drawings from the Collection of Wayne F. Yakes, MD (curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker) which was on view Feb. 8 - May 17, 2014. The catalogue features provocative paintings and drawings by three major artists of the Russian Non-Conformist movement: Genia Chef, Ilya Kabakov, and Oleg Vassiliev. The publication includes work produced between the 1960s and 2010s, straddling the Soviet period and the more recent Russian period, and features the politically and socially charged artwork of three of Russia's most important contemporary artists. Emerging first as major artists under the Soviet system, and then later again in their respective adopted countries of exile, the catalogue highlights each artist's mastery of Classical technique and Socialist Realism but also each artist's conceptual challenge to these traditions and to the political and social culture from which they emerged.
