In the late 19th century, numerous Russian artists found
inspiration in the style of French Impressionist painters. Often, a
journey to Paris acted as a catalyst for their burgeoning interest
in the movement. They developed a preference for working en plein
air and aimed to capture transitory effects through a spontaneous
and free handling of the brush. Many leading painters of the later
Russian avant-garde arrived at their individual styles due to
studying the Impressionist use of light. This lavishly illustrated
volume explores the many-layered ways French Impressionism
influenced the evolution of Russian art from the 1880s to the
1920s, including the work of painters as diverse as Ilya Repin,
Valentin Serov, Konstantin Korovin, Natalia Goncharova, and Kazimir
Malevich. Essays by many of the leading scholars in the field
provide rich new insights into one of the most intriguing chapters
of Russian modernism.
