The Art Education System after Vkhutemas-Vkhutein dissolution in 1930
The idea behind the dissolution of Vkhutemas-Vkhutein in 1930 was to stop spending time and effort on educating painters and sculptors according to the traditional classic scheme, and to train instead future designers who could be useful at various manufacturing plants of the first Five-Year plan, and at decorating mass demonstrations of working people regularly held in the USSR.
