Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union’s most controversial leader, known worldwide for his carnivorous policies, is presented in an entirely new light – as an art critic.
Of course, I do not and cannot agree with Stalin’s harsh treatment of artists. But one thing is very clear: nowhere is the art and artists treated more seriously and more profoundly than in Russia, but now that artists are not getting killed, imprisoned and exiled, Russia's art production is becoming less distinct and more and more as a cheap version of the Western pastiche. How sad.
