Certainly works if the TTL sees the Whites win the Russian Civil War... though I'm still unsure you even need political changes that drastic. Still, for now since I'm drawn to the idea of artists like Vertov, Malevich, and others coming west, I suppose we can run with it for now...

Well, hypothetically the Soviet state could be largely the same, aside from propaganda aesthetics. For example, getting Vertov to go west may not be that much of a challenge -- his brothers were in Western Europe during the Civil War; he might have decided to join them if his propaganda work didn't turn out. Of course, that's just one Russian -- doesn't include Malevich, et el...

Well, how does a whole wave of them go, then...?

If there was no Picasso then I guess some other "artist" would take his place.
