Istoriia russkoi zhivopisi - Gnedich Petr Petrovich

Today it is difficult to imagine a time when the history of Russian painting was considered an inconsequential object, worth the attention of - but it was only 100 years ago! All the more significant are the works of those great researchers who opened masterpieces of Russian art to the national and world public. Each of the authors of this book represents an entire era in the spiritual life of our country. Director of the Museum of the Society for the Promotion of Arts Piotr Gnedich; Pavel Muratov, a famous writer and art historian, curator of the department of fine arts and classical antiquities at the Rumyantsev Museum; famous art historian, organizer of many international exhibitions Baron Nikolai Wrangel; music and art critic, art historian, archivist, public figure Vladimir Stasov; Russian theatrical and artistic figure, one of the founders of the "World of Art" association, organizer of "Russian Seasons" in Paris Sergei Diaghilev; art historian Viktor Nikolsky. So the proposed edition is not just a book that attracts outstanding domestic artists and their work to the world, not just interestingly described history of Russian painting. The modern reader will tell the story itself in the presentation of celebrities, so different from each other, but connected by one common passion - love for Russian culture, and one desire - to share this love with others.
