The contributors to this 1992 book examine various aspects of the
relationship among Christianity and the visual arts, architecture
and music in Russia. Within this broad area the book concentrates
on specific topics rather than attempting a broad survey.
Nonetheless, the range of material extends from the earliest stages
of the introduction of Byzantine art forms in Kievan Russia to the
relation between Christian and folk decorative/iconographic motifs
to the use of religious imagery in the work of contemporary
filmmaker Andrei Tarkovskii. The related interests of the
contributors create a concentration of topics in certain periods
such as the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Some of
the chapters are academically specialized, others are easily
accessible to a general audience; but all are based on thorough and
careful scholarship. Christianity and the Arts in Russia is based
on, but not limited to, a symposium held at the Library of Congress
in 1988 to mark the millennium of Russian Christianity.
