{"product_id":"from-realism-to-the-silver-rosalind-blakesley-9780875807034","title":"From Realism to the Silver Age","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume of thirteen essays presents rigorous new research by western and Russian scholars on Russian art of the nienteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Over More than three decades after the publication of Elizabeth Valkenier's pioneering monograph, \u003ci\u003eRussian Realist Art\u003c\/i\u003e, this impressive collection showcases the latest methodology and subjects of inquiry, expanding the parameters of what has become an area of enormous intellectual and popular appeal. Major artists including Ilia Repin, Valentin Serov, and Wassily Kandinsky are considered afresh, as are the Peredvizhnik and Mir iskusstva movements and the Abramtsevo community. The book also breaks new ground to embrace subjects such as Russian graphic satire and children's book illustration, as well as stimulating aspects of patronage and display. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCollectively, the essays include a range of approaches, from close textual readings to institutional critique. They also develop major themes inspired by Valkenier's work, among them: the emergence and evolution of cultural institutions, the development of aesthetic discourse and artistic terminology, debates between the Academy of Arts and its challengers, art criticism and the Russian press, and the resonance of various forms of nationalism within the art world. These and other questions engage multiple disciplines--those of art history, Slavic Russian studies, and cultural history, among others--and promise to fuel a vibrant and ascendant field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosalind Blakesley, Margaret Samu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0875807038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875807034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Rosalind Blakesley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947433427199,"sku":"9780875807034","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_424ab8ac-b292-4790-b443-dc453aa29b9e.jpg?v=1681518697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-realism-to-the-silver-rosalind-blakesley-9780875807034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
