St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2007. Sewn cl. This catalogue of an exhibition at the Russian Museum focuses on a circle of artists who practiced forms of art in the early Soviet period that differed from the avant-garde styles, drew on 19th-century realism, and developed themes of the new Soviet way of life. The style of the artists was traditional in technique but fresh in its choice of subjects and its energetic modernist style. Paintings, drawings, prints and works of sculpture from several regional museums and private collections in addition to many from the Russian Museum give the first broad look at the movement and add many visual documents to the study of the artists. An appendix gives brief biographies of the artists. three substantive articles present research on the Circle of Artists. Section headings: history of the artists' association; the unique legacy in graphic art of the Circle of Artists; sculptural works by artists of the Circle of Artists. 183 p., 32 cm, approx. 250 color illus., Rus.
