After 1914, avant-garde artists began to imagine many things that had once seemed unimaginable. As Marc Chagall later remarked, "The war was another plastic work that totally absorbed us, which reformed our forms, destroyed the lines, and gave a new look to the universe."Studies in war, society, and the military.Art, Russian20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918Art and the warArt and societyRussiaHistory20th centuryModernism (Art)RussiaArt, RussianWorld War, 1914-1918Art and societyHistoryModernism (Art)709.47/09041Cohen Aaron J1543014MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778232103321Imagining the unimaginable3796266UNINA
