It is probable that after the French Revolution, its exponents and opponents alike, seeing the changed form of government, expected everything else that came from France to be equally different from that which had come before. Certainly that is what people expect from Soviet Union but at least in the arts of painting and sculpture that is what people do not find. After all, a revolution is not a beginning as much as a culmination. Consequently it is probable that the thinking done before the revolution in Soviet Union had a closer relation to its causes than the thinking being done now. But in painting and sculpture, Soviet Union before the revolution was one of those countries which followed the leader, the leader in recent years being France.
