More about the book

This exhibition catalogue of works from many sources outside Russia publishes lesser known works by avant-garde painters of the twentieth century such as Goncharova, Malevich, Larionov, Konchalovskii, A. Exter; by many well-known artists of late imperial Russia such as Repin, Somov, Roerich, Korovin, Vasnetsov, and Dobuzhinskii; by major nineteenth-century figures such as Kiprenskii, Briullov, Venetsianov, Ivanov, and Troponin; by the first significant portraitists in Russian art, Rokotov and Borovikhovskii. Biographies of eighty-seven artists and two indexes facilitate the use of the book as a source on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian art. -- Summary written by John W.
