A Century of Russian Art, 1900-2000 focuses on the artists, ideas and movements which contributed to Russia’s cultural renaissance during the first years of the twentieth century and continued to provide Soviet and then post-Soviet art with its distinguishing characteristics. Through comparative essays regarding the Silver Age, the avant-garde, or Constructivism and the applied arts, in addition to appreciations of individual artists such as of Chagall, Filonov, Kandinsky, Malevich, Miasoedov, Nikritin, Popova, Rodchenko and Tatlin, A Century of Russian Art describes the principal semaphores of modern Russian art, concentrating on Symbolism and the plastic arts, the move towards abstract painting, the time of Revolution, the ascendancy of Socialist Realism, and the non-conformist trends.
A landmark volume which explores the remarkable flowering of radical, visionary and experimental design for performance in Russia from 1913-1933.
Assembled during the last twenty years, the José Maria Castañé collection of paintings, drawings, and prints constitutes a panorama of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Russian art, one of the most exciting moments of modern cultural history. Unlike other representations in the West, however, the Castañé collection does not focus exclusively on the avant-garde, Socialist Realism or the dissident movement, but, instead, offers a broader and sometimes alternative enquiry into the history of the Russian visual arts, acquainting us with often unfamiliar works by luminaries such as Léon Bakst, Aleksandr Deineka, and Liubov' Popova as well as with less celebrated names such as Aleksandr Chirkov, Nikolai Lapshin, and Aleksandr Venedernikov. With full curatorial descriptions, biographies, critical essays, and artists' statements (for the most part, published for the first time in English), Of Peace and War pays homage to the initiative and foresight of a private collector and to the purposefulness and enthusiasm which molded the selection.
