Reactions to a stunning exhibition of Russian Art, pre- and post-Communist
Revolution at the Bonnefanten Museum (Maastricht, NL)
socialist realism
images
in darkened rooms
russia before all that
in a way
before the war
that finished all
the artists seem
to intuit
the coming dark
of red and black
when being primitive
ruled
and those who could
preferred to die
in attics
in Paris
not gulags
in Siberia
