In December 1917, a revolution overturned Russia's long-ruling dynastic class, and artists began to seek new creative ways to remake Russian society. MoMA curator Sarah Suzuki explains how artists like Aleksandr Rodchenko, Alexandra Ekster and El Lissitzky developed a new abstract language in response.
