Komar & Melamid
Lost Paradise (Scene from Russian Life), 1982-83
Description
The work of Russian artists Komar & Melamid quotes liberally from the history of Western painting as well as from the ‘classic’ Socialist Realism of the late 40’s and 50’s. Their ‘history’ paintings are targeted at contemporary subjects: politics, art, culture, myths and themselves. Under the guise of old master paintings and other media, the social historians, Komar & Melamid, create their own nostalgic version of history.
