Enthusiasts of early 20th century art are likely to be fascinated by this book, which shows, and discusses, a lot of work that is not widely exhibited or reproduced, at least not in the US. The book is the catalog of an exhibit of the same title held at the Neue Galerie in New York. The reproductions are accompanied by a series of illuminating essays. The primary focus is -- as the title suggests -- on Russian art, with the German works shown serving as counterpoint. The exception here is Kandinsky, who, as one of the essays points out, is counted as Russian in Russia, but whose work is widely shown in exhibits of German modernism - there's lots of Kandinsky in this book. After seeing the exhibit and reading the book, it seems to me that the Russian/German connection was less powerful than the influence of French art on both German and Russian work. The book also brings out the powerful influence of Russian folk art on the painters of the teens. In any event, there are some stunning pictures in here that were completely new to me -- check out Grigoriev's "Portrait of M. Ya. Yasnaya", Khodasevich's "Persian Boy", and Lentulov's "Victorious Battle". ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
'Russian Modernism' is dedicated to the radical modernist movements in Russian and German art during the early years of the 20th century. Their development was parallel and often intertwined. Artists such as Vasily Kandinsky or Alexej von Jawlensky are claimed by the Germans but remain Russian artists for the Russians. The Burluk brothers, who became celebrities of the Russian radical art scene, participated in the first exhibition of the Blauer Reiter. Russian artists travelled to Germany and lived there, while their German counterparts were aware of what was shown in Moscow exhibition halls. The diverse art movement "expressionism" was formed in Germany at the beginning of the 1910s and was given the name by the critic Herwarth Walden. Members of groups such as Die Brucke and the Blauer Reiter were initially influenced by the French Fauves movement and their Russian contemporaries also tried to find new artistic truth in Paris, 'la Ville Lumiere'. However, both in Germany and Russia the new French influence underwent radical transformation. Beautifully illustrated and designed, this book provides an insight into the work of Russian and German artists in the early years of the 20th century.
