Sots-Art [Komar & Melamid](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/komar-melamid) Sep 24 – Oct 29, 1982 ![Km Black And White Brothers Forever 1980 1](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/KM-Black-and-White-Brothers-Forever-1980_1.jpg) Komar & Melamid Black and White Brothers Forever, 1980 Description The recent work of the Russian conceptual artists Komar & Melamid plays off of the classical tradition of Socialist Realism of the late 40's and 50's. The specters of Stalin and Lenin haunt these paintings which further develop "SOTS-ART," a Soviet version of Pop Art created by the artists while living in Moscow in early 70's. The current exhibition consists of thirteen paintings rendered in a classical style reminiscent of the 17th century.
