Tossup

Furniture of this color surrounds a table with a wine bottle in a still life by Robert Falk. In a 1912 Symbolist painting meant to combine fresco and icon painting styles, a nude boy leans back while riding a horse of this color as he bathes it in a body of water. In a 1920 painting, a giant man carries an object of this color and marches toward a snow-covered church through a town square filled with a crowd of people who don’t even reach the top of his boots. A painting of eight tilted rectangles of this color (10[1])was shown at the 0,10 (“zero-ten”) Exhibition. (-5[2])That same artist (-5[1])painted (-5[1])cavalry (-5[1])of this color charging (10[1])across (10[1])a (-5[1])Suprematist (-5[1])landscape with a ground consisting of bands of (10[1])color. A circle is penetrated by a wedge (10[4])of this (10[2])color (10[2])in a propaganda (10[3])poster by El Lissitzky. For 10 points, in Soviet art, what color often (10[1])represents the Bolsheviks? ■END■ (10[6])

ANSWER: red [accept krasnyy or krasnaya or krasnoye; accept Red Furniture or Krasnaya mebel’; accept Bathing of a Red Horse or Kupaniye krasnovo konya; accept Eight Red Rectangles or Vosem’ krasnykh pryamougol’nikov; prompt on Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge by asking “Which of those colors is your answer?”] (The second clue is about Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin’s Bathing of a Red Horse, and the third is about Boris Kustodiev’s The Bolshevik.)
