Hailed as a brilliant theoretician, Voldemars Matvejs (best known
by his pen name Vladimir Markov) was a Latvian artist who
spearheaded the Union of Youth, a dynamic group championing
artistic change in Russia, 1910-14. His work had a formative impact
on Malevich, Tatlin, and the Constructivists before it was censored
during the era of Soviet realism. This volume introduces Markov as
an innovative and pioneering art photographer and assembles, for
the first time, five of his most important essays. The translations
of these hard-to-find texts are fresh, unabridged, and
authentically poetic. Critical essays by Jeremy Howard and Irena
Buzinska situate his work in the larger phenomenon of Russian
'primitivism', i.e. the search for the primal. This book challenges
hardening narratives of primitivism by reexamining the enthusiasm
for world art in the early modern period from the perspective of
Russia rather than Western Europe. Markov composed what may be the
first book on African art and Z.S. Strother analyzes both the text
and its photographs for their unique interpretation of West African
sculpture as a Kantian 'play of masses and weights'. The book will
appeal to students of modernism, orientalism, 'primitivism',
historiography, African art, and the history of the photography of
sculpture.
