Moscow: Progress-Traditsiia, 2014. sewn cl. In this comparative study the author begins with a look at the use of ceramics for ornamenting buildings and interiors in such cities as Paris, Barcelona, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Budapest. She then focuses on its flourishing in the architecture and interior design at the turn of the twentieth century in Moscow where colorful decorative ceramics brightened grand facades of public buildings, framed iconostasis of churches, and turned Russian stoves and fireplaces into works whose form, composition and color made them masterpieces of decorative art. The period also brought out a rare form of collaboration between artists working mainly in the fine arts and craftsmen — major painters of the day like Vrubel' and Golovin did design drawings for decorative panels on facades and interior elements such as stoves and fireplaces. The author also unfolds the technical side of the art, and traces the history of the production of decorative ceramics at the artists' colony of Abramtsevo, the Kuznetsov Factory, and the Stroganov Institute. 558 p., 30 cm, approx. 500 color illus., Rus.
