Description:
This volume represents the latest scholarship on the arts of Russia and the Soviet Union from the reign of Catherine the Great to the present-day ferment associated with perestroika and the creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States. These splendid essays not only provide original discussions of art, architecture and patronage, they also illuminate the social, political and cultural context of Russian and Soviet art, and often place that artistic culture in a broader comparative perspective.
