From the first Modernist exhibitions in the late 1890s to the
Soviet rupture with the West in the mid-1930s, Russian artists and
writers came into wide contact with modern European art and ideas.
Introducing a wealth of little-known material set in an
illuminating interpretive context, this sourcebook presents Russian
and Soviet views of Western art during this critical period of
cultural transformation. The writings document complex responses to
these works and ideas before the Russians lost contact with them
almost entirely. Many of these writings have been unavailable to
foreign readers and, until recently, were not widely known even to
Russian scholars. Both an important reference and a valuable
resource for classrooms, the book includes an introductory essay
and shorter introductions to the individual sections.
