Развитие на монтажния принцип като метод в изкуството на руския авангард
Development of the Montage Principle as a method in the Art of the Russian Avant-garde

Summary/Abstract: The text aims to present the approaches of the Russian avant-garde in different arts and the interaction between them. The study presents the artistic practice of the period as a broad-spectrum phenomenon which manifests the idea of synthesis. The montage is brought out as universal method in the context of the various arts. The article also claims that, gradually, the montage principle turns into an instrument of the avant-garde’s urges for synthetism. As a result, the montage method gives the artistic practices possibilities of renewal. The period’s practices and concepts that cons ainting, film, sculpture, theatre, and literature are analysed in relation to the aims of the text. For the purpose of analysis, the following are used: little-known Futurist books, Sergei Eisenstein’s views on montage, the artistic practices of Russian futurist poets, Malevich’s zaum painting, and others. Searching for the interaction between these, the text brings out more fully the role of montage as a creative and formal method of the avant-garde.
