Portret sem'i / Family Portrait
St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2014. sewn cl. The authors and compilers scoured a large number of images to cull ones that at once correspond with their theme and are also strong as individual works. Especially surprising are the many contemporary works in painting, photography, and sculpture illustrating the theme of family in an array of styles and schools. Some convey the bliss of family harmony; others have a tone of irony, such as the serene portrait of Grand Duke Peter Fedorovich (later Peter III) and Grand Duchess Catherine Alekseevna (later Catherine the Great). An appendix identifies sitters and another gives biographical sketches of the artists. 216 p., 30 x 30 cm, 254 color, Rus. or ENGLISH. Item #225
