Abstract
The author explores diverse artistic trends and styles in works by Nonconformist artists Vyacheslav Koleychuk, Francisco Infante, Eduard Steinberg, Dmitri Plavinsky, Petr Belenok, Ilya Kabakov, Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, and Konstantin Khudyakov, and their relationship to the ideas of the Russian cosmism movement. She traces historical and cultural contexts for Soviet Nonconformist art from the mid-1950s to the early 1980s and the artists’ interest in early twentieth-century Russian avant-garde practices. Elaborating on a long interdisciplinary tradition while balancing scientific and metaphysical views of art, their works allude to the multidimensional reality of our cosmos. Cosmism may offer an escape into one's own cosmos, fantasy and dreams.
