It depicts the history of the Soviet art and industrial design workshop Vkhutemas, established in Moscow in 1920 and active until its dissolution under Stalin in 1930. The school's faculty included such figures as Alexander Rodchenko, Lyubov Popova, Kazimir Malevich, and others, and Vkhutemas bore an extraordinary influence in Soviet design in the early years of the Revolution, serving as the incubator for such key artistic movements as Constructivism, Suprematism, and Rationalism in fields as diverse as painting, drama, architecture, and industrial design.
