Society of Young Artists
The Society of Young Artists was a collective of artists in revolutionary Russia. They experimented with spatial constructions and the properties of industrial materials. The group existed 1919-22.
Following the Russian Revolution art education was reorganised through the establishment of svomas. The Stroganov School for Technical Drawing became the First Free State Art Workshops. However, by the summer 1919, the mass mobilisation for the Red Army currently involved in the Russian Civil War led to students graduating from the workshops joining up. However Georgiy Echeistov remained at the Workshops and joined the leaderless workshop first organised by Boris Grigoriev in September 1919.
