About Aleksei Fedorov-Davydov
- Aleksei Aleksandrovic Fedorov-Davydov (1900-1969) was a Soviet art scholar. His 1929 article 'The Principles of Building Art Museums' criticized existing Soviet galleries and museums for their 'fetishism of objects'.
- He called for museum displays to concentrate on 'processes' rather than 'things': the history of styles stretched into a single straight line of evolution...
- we know that this single line exists because every piece of the historical process is a complex intersection, a dialectical struggle between competing forces and heterogenous tendencies.
