Book Description
“Ancient Russian Ecclesiastical Embroideries” is a fascinating treatise looking at the history and development of embroidery in Russia, with a special focus on that which is related to the church. Dating back as far as the twelfth century, ecclesiastical needlework has had a rich history and significant influence on Russian culture. This volume looks at this in detail, making it highly recommended for those with an interest in the history and development of embroidery in Russia. Contents include: “Ancient Russian Ecclesiastical Embroideries”, “The Staritzky Workshops”, “The Godunov Workshops”, “The Stroganov Workshops”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

Reclaiming and Redefining American Exhibitions of Russian Art
Author: Roann BarrisPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000927660
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
This book examines the history of American exhibitions of Russian art in the twentieth century in the context of the Cold War. Because this history reflects changes in museological theory and the role of governments in facilitating or preventing intercultural cooperation, it uncovers a story that is far more complex than a chronological listing of exhibition names and art works. Roann Barris considers questions of stylistic appropriations and influences and the role of museum exhibitions in promoting international and artistic exchanges. Barris reveals that Soviet and American exchanges in the world of art were extensive and persistent despite political disagreements before, during, and after the Cold War. It also reveals that these early exhibitions communicated contradictory and historically invalid pictures of the Russian or Soviet avant-garde. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, and Russian studies.

ISBN:

Pages : 452
Book Description
Sixteen scholars from Russia, Vienna, and the United States explore the fate of Russian art collections and libraries following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the institutions and individuals responsible for their sale, and the prominent collectors, libraries, and museums that acquired them. Unlike the widely publicized controversy surrounding Soviet-Nazi war loot and its restitution, the sales of the interwar period are not well known outside a small scholarly community. This volume reveals the extent of the Soviet government's voluntary ?realization? of Russia's cultural patrimony between 1918 and 1938 and its consequences for both the international art market and the perception of Russian art. The imperial Easter eggs by Fabergé and Old-Master paintings purchased by Andrew Mellon from the State Hermitage and now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. are the most celebrated works that changed hands. Equally significant are the bibliographic rarities from imperial libraries, icons and liturgical art from churches and monasteries, and antiques, furnishings and fine art from estates, palaces, and private homes.
