Abstract
The Soviet call for art that embodied the aspirations of international communism inspired new styles and forms of art in the 1920s and 1930s. Some forms managed to convey revolutionary ideals while maintaining broad popular appeal and high professional standards. Soviet propaganda porcelain and textile design kept their revolutionary-era momentum well into the next decade. In large-scale public art, however — monumental sculpture and painting; architecture and designs for urban festivals; theater, music, and cinema — radical stylistic experimentation failed to produce the anticipated revolution in culture.
