Directed/Written by: Amanda Pope and Tchavdar Georgiev
Starring: Marina Babanazarova and Stephen Kinzer; voiced by Sally Field, Ed Asner and Sir Ben Kingsley
“The Desert of Forbidden Art” proves that, in many societies, the creation of art is a scream for freedom. For Igor Savitsky, art equaled life, and his own was dedicated to saving the work of artists whose lives could have been meaningless without his efforts. In fact, many of the pieces rescued have since become the only remnants of their creators’ existences.
The artists represented by the collection stayed true to their visions despite the terrible costs associated with being an artist in their oppressed political regime. Amanda Pope and Tchavdar Georgiev contextualize the work well, depicting the Soviet concentration camps in evidence to Stalin’s murderous ways.
Artists in this era were carted off to mental hospitals.
