Avant-Gardists: Artists in Revolt in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union
Malevich, Tatlin and Rodchenko from the last years of the empire to the moment the state stopped tolerating them, with Tatlin weighted far more heavily than usual.
Malevich, Tatlin, Rodchenko and the rest, followed from the last years of the empire through the revolution to the point where the state stopped tolerating them. Scheijen gives Tatlin far more weight than usual, making a case that he mattered as much as Malevich to what the Soviet avant-garde actually became.

My biggest learning from this volume was simply how important Vladimir Tatlin was as a leader of the Soviet avant-garde in the 1920s. He might have mattered as much as Malevich? It is worth buying and reading a book for an insight such as that.
