Art in a Cold Climate

Nikita Khrushchev, 1963: 'The artist's talent should be wholly dedicated to the struggle of the people for the building of Communism' Russian Revolutionary Leader, 1923: 'There is only the undying fidelity of the artist to his own internal Me' New painting, poems, music, and film material from the Soviet Union highlight the forty year conflict between art and the party line with contributions from Jack Lindsay, Ronald Hingley, Stanley Mitchell and Stephen Spender.
