Aleksei Aleksandrovič 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'.[1] 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."[1]
