Artists of the Russian emigration
29.99 €
The book is a fundamental study of the phenomenon of Russian artistic emigration of the "first wave". It concerns artists who began their professional activities on the territory of the Russian Empire, but were forced to continue them in other countries: Turkey (Constantinople), the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Belgrade), Czechoslovakia (Prague), Germany (Berlin) and France (Paris). The author considers the art of Russian emigration as an independent stream of a single domestic artistic tradition, separated from the cultural processes in the homeland due to its non-creative nature - the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The uniqueness of the book is that both streams - both domestic and emigrant - are presented here as two parts of one cultural phenomenon - Russian art. The range of names of masters touched upon in the book is very wide: from the world-famous V. Kandinsky, M. Chagall, H. Soutine, N. Goncharova, M. Larionov to those forgotten in their homeland Marevna, S. Charchoune, I. Puni, N. Tarkhov; from the retrospective artists of the "World of Art" circle A. Benois, K. Somov, stylists B. Grigoriev, A. Yakovlev and Yu. Annenkov to the experimenters and modernists P. Tchelitchew, V. Baranov-Rossine, A. Pevzner, A. Lanskoy, S. Polyakov, N. de Stael and others. The book is richly illustrated, supplied with extensive appendices and is addressed to both specialists and a wide range of lovers of Russian art of the 20th century.
