A porcelain cup and saucer "CONGRES COMINTERN". Cup and saucer commemorating the Congress of the people of the East, which took place in Baku, September 1920. The saucer shows five representatived of the different peoples of the East holding hands around a red star containing hammer and sickle. Red factory mark "VKhUTEMAS". Moscow, design by Oganes K. Tatevosyan, 1920-1926. 5,5 cm high, Diam. 14,5 cm. # VKhUTEMAS (Higher Art and Technical Studios) was the Russian state art and technical school founded in 1920 in Moscow. The workshops were established by a decree from Vladimir Lenin with the intentions, in the words of the Soviet government, "to prepare master artists of the highest qualifications for industry, and builders and managers for professional-technical education." It was a center for three major movements in avant garde art and architecture: constructivism, rationalism, and suprematism. In the workshops, the faculty and students transformed views of art and reality with the use of precise geometry with an emphasis on space, in one of the great revolutions in the history of art. In 1926, the school was reorganised under a new rector and its name was changed from "Studios" to "Institute" or Vkhutein. It was dissolved in 1930, after political and internal pressures throughout its ten-year existence.
