Budanova Natalia, Murray Natalia Two Women Patrons of the Russian Avant-Garde. Nadezhda Dobychina and Klavdia Mikhailova
In early 1910s, two pioneering women entrepreneurs, Nadezhda Dobychina in St Petersburg and Klavdia Mikhailova in Moscow set up two of the first art galleries in Russia. Skilfully balancing current art market trends and daring avant-garde experimentations, Dobychina and Mikhailova soon transformed their establishments into vibrant centres of Russian artistic life. Their exhibitions of well-established national and international artists attracted enthusiastic crowds and won acclaim from leading art critics. They did not hesitate to engage in more provocative ventures, including the controversial Goncharova retrospectives in 1914, which for the first time put on view over 500 cutting-edge avant-garde works, and the famous 0.10 exhibition of 1915 at Dobychina's Art Bureau in St. Petersburg, where Malevich's famous Black Square was displayed for the very first time. Based on previously unpublished archival materials and illustrations, this book will tell the story of the lives and adventures of these two remarkable women. Operating in a predominantly man's world, they focussed on discovering and promoting those Russian artists who later went on to become major figures in the history of world modernism.

Impressionism in Russia
Explore the influence of Impressionism on Russian painters at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century. 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.

Sarabyanov Andrei, Strizhkova Natalia Art and Power. The Russian Avant-garde under Soviet Rule, 1917-1928
In Art and Power the authors Andrei Sarabyanov and Natalia Strizhkova explore the historical period between 1917 to the early 1930s, when avant-garde artists and Bolshevik leaders worked hand-in-hand on forging new cultural policies and creating new visual language that would channel Soviet ideological values. Based on the formerly unknown and hitherto unpublished archival documents from the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the authors explore alliances and tensions that existed within the artistic community, as well as the roles played by such torch-bearers as Kazimir Malevich, Vassily Kandinsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Olga Rozanova, Vladimir Tatlin and the challenges they faced in their collaboration with the Soviet State. Within just a few years, they founded new art schools, established numerous educational, research and experimental laboratories and institutions throughout Russia, reaching even into the most remote backwaters of the former Russian Empire.

Cosmism in Russian Art
The majority of the paintings and drawings published in this catalogue of a Russian Museum exhibition date to the first few decades of the twentieth century, overlapping with the avant-garde; others were done in mid century, still others as late as the eighties. The style is basically representative in the works of such artists as Konstantin Yuon, Vasilii Chekrygin, Nicholas Roerich, Konstantin Rozhdestvenskii, Iosif Gurvich, Nicola Benois, Valery Kondratiev, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, and Alexander Labas. Mikhail Matiushin, Kandinskii, Malevich, Pavel Filonov, Nikolai Suetin, Natalia Goncharova, Ivan Kudriashev, and the Amaravella circle, on the other hand, aproached the theme in abstract forms. What unites all these varied artists is their endeavor to imagine other worlds in art. Quotations from the artists and a detailed introduction give some idea of the philosophies behind their art (e.g., Suprematism). On a visual and aesthetic level the works are often beautiful if eerie.

Gale Matthew, Huusko Timo, Wan Katy Natalia Goncharova
Natalia Goncharova (1881-1962) was the leading female artist of the Russian avant-garde and a key figure of the modernist era. She embraced with a complete openness a wide range of artistic styles, traditions and media. From sculpture and painting, printmaking and book illustration, to fashion and innovative cinema, she applied the spirit of `everythingness' (Toutisme) to her creative practice. After gaining fame for her early experiments with abstraction, she earned further international renown for her work for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes following her emigration to Paris in 1914. This publication will consider the entire spectrum of Goncharova's creative practice. An important focus will be her 1913 exhibition in Moscow at which she displayed over 350 paintings along with the numerous drawings, studies, prints and designs, demonstrating her prolific and prodigious talent. It will also address how Goncharova was unafraid to explore subjects in her art that were considered taboo for a gentile woman of pre-war Europe, such as the female nude, paganism and marginalised cultures. The artist caused controversy with her biblical scenes, which were rendered in intense and earthly manner that reflected her personal experiences in the period leading to the outbreak of the First World War. Her involvement in performative practices of the futurist movement in Russia went along with her own ground-breaking experiments with non-figurative forms. It was her work that largely contributed to elevating theatre design and costume-making into an art form. Essays by leading experts and lavish illustrations will bring to a new audience the diverse work of this modernist artist whose oeuvre blazed the path of Russian avant-garde painting, ground-breaking European theatre design and modernist graphic design.

Гусев Владимир Александрович Русский музей: Альбом путеводитель, на английском языке
The Russian Museum was opened in 1895, by a decree of Tsar Alexander III, and as such was the first state owned museum of art in Russia. Housed in the Mikhailovsky Palace (architect C.Rossi), the Museum numbers nearly 400.000 exhibits, and has a huge range of Russian art which rival that of the Tretiakov in Moscow. The exhibits date from ancient icons to the Avant-garde school of painting of the 20th century, and include many landmarks in the history of Russian art, such as Bruillov's 'The Last Day of Pompeii', and Repin's 'The Barge Haulers'.

Impressionism in Russia. Dawn of the Avant-Garde
Исследуйте влияние импрессионизма на русских художников конца 19 - начала 20 века.В конце 19 века многие русские художники черпали вдохновение в стиле французских импрессионистов. Часто поездка в Париж становилась катализатором растущего интереса к движению. Они отдали предпочтение работе на пленэре и стремились передать преходящие эффекты посредством спонтанного и свободного обращения с кистью. Многие ведущие художники позднего русского авангарда пришли к своим индивидуальным стилям благодаря изучению использования света импрессионистами. В этом богато иллюстрированном сборнике исследуется многоуровневое влияние французского импрессионизма на эволюцию русского искусства с 1880-х по 1920-е годы, включая творчество таких разных художников, как Илья Репин, Валентин Серов, Константин Коровин, Наталья Гончарова и Казимир Малевич. Очерки многих ведущих ученых в этой области дают богатый новый взгляд на одну из самых интригующих глав русского модернизма.Explore the influence of Impressionism on Russian painters at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century.In the late 19th century, numerous Russian artists found inspiration in the style of French Impressionist painters.

Sylvia Martin, Uta Grosenic Futurism (Basic Art) HC
Inspired by the development of Cubism, the Futurist movement was founded in 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, along with painters Giacomo Balla. Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra, and Gino Severini. The school, which celebrated technology and the mechanical era, was comprised of painters, sculptors, designers, architects, and writers. Motion and machines were two main themes of this movement, which attacked the bastions of establishment and sparked controversy by its glorification of war and support of Fascism. Experimenting with movement, and speed, and abstract light and color, the Futurists developed approaches and techniques that were revolutionary at the time, and in retrospect one can see that the Futurists influenced other avant-garde art movements, most notably Russian Constructivism. Artists featured: Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Carlo Carra, Tullio Crali, Fortunato Depero, Gerardo Dottori, Leonardo Dudreville, Virgilio Marchi, F.T. Marinetti, Enrico Prampolini, Luigi Russolo, Antonio Sant'Elia, Gino Severini. Mario Sironi, Ardengo Soffici.

Tokarev Artur, Bychkov Igor Architectural guide. The South of Russia. Buildings of the Soviet Avant-Garde 1922–1936
The architecture of the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s and mid-1930s is attracting more and more attention from both domestic and foreign researchers, but in spite of this, entire regions remain unexplored. One of them, until recently, was the South of Russia - an area that encompasses the Southern Federal District and the North Caucasus Federal District. The state of this architectural heritage deserves special mention. In the South of Russia during the Second World War, there were active hostilities and mass destruction. Over the course of post-war reconstruction, many buildings were rebuilt in a neoclassical style, and a whole layer of avant-garde works nearly disappeared. During the post-Soviet years, the management of these buildings was no less destructive. The product of extensive research, this guidebook divides the objects in question into two groups: those that have survived and those that have been lost forever. Fortunately, Architectural Guide The South of Russia allows readers to see more than 100 selected buildings of the Soviet avantgarde with their own eyes.
