"The rich tradition of French painting was an important influence on Russian art from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1920s, a period which saw the rise of many of the most important movements in modern art. A visual record of an unprecedented event, this book - the catalogue of an ambitious exhibition of master paintings from the four greatest museums of Russia - examines the interaction of these two great cultures." "Drawing on the collections of the State Russian Museum and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and the Tretyakov Gallery and the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, the authors consider outstanding examples of Salon painting Impressionism, Fauvism and Cubism in France, and related movements in Russia, among them The Wanderers, Constructivism and Suprematism."--Jacket.… (plus d'informations)

Compared to other similar books on the period, this doesn't add much to the scholarly discussion of cultural ties between Russia and Western Europe. Its main strength is its high quality reproductions of familiar and unfamiliar works. It is intended as a broad visual overview of artistic exchange between Russia and France and the essays for the most part speak to that purpose. There also is no bibliography of the works cited and referenced.

The selection of French works was typical with a mix of Barbizon, Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Modernist works. The highlights for me were the Matisses and Cezannes. Some of the works have been shown in the UK and US in various exhibitions over the past 15 years, so they are familiar. The text that explains the art work is rather terse and not too frequently cites other scholars. There also is no exhibition history of the works shown.

The Russian works were a revelation. Kandinsky, Malevich, and Chagall are among the few who are familiar to museum goers, even though Kandinsky is better properly appreciated with the German modernists. The real discoveries for me were the various Russian modernist movements from the World of Art to the Futurist-Cubist hybrid style.

Well printed, but in most other aspects a bit of a disappointment; obviously the curators of the exhibition have a very different conception of this art than people like me. Just a few remarks on the russian section: My holy beasts- Somov, Rozanova, Filonov- got short shrift; Serebryakova did not even appear. Goncharova's roayal bird was reduced to a sparrow. The decision to cut the story at 1920 (not 1925) is inexplicable on artistic or historical grounds, but very predictable on political ones. I bothered to read carefully only the piece on gender, that starts from a sound remark -in no artistic movement till then did women play as significant a role as in the early 1900s russian avant-garde. The rest of the chapter, not overly informed by the scholarly discussion on gender in the last thirty years, was so full of cliches that i did not believe my eyes. ( )
