...wonderful things about the scene is that it's pure theater. Turn it into a movie, and we would be dragged, inevitably, into the action outside. Which would spoil the point: the unmistakable sense of both the ordinariness and the utter incomprehensibility of the experience of men in war. Outside, soldiers are racing across a patch of ground scarcely bigger than the width of a rugby field. Inside, the bunks are still warm; the bacon and tea are waiting. The men are gone for just three minutes. When they return, everything has changed. When it was first staged in London...

But he chose to develop his analytical art by experimenting in pure abstraction, as in his Formula series, which illustrated war, nature or the universe. Yet whichever style suited his purpose, Filonov always pursued it with an idiosyncratic intensity. Rather than starting with the big picture and filling in the details later, Filonov started with the details, which he called "atoms," until the canvas or paper was full of painstakingly executed kaleidoscopic color cells. A pattern emerged organically...
