St. Petersburg: Muzei iskusstva S-P XX–XXI vekov, 2018. Sewn pb. These works from an exhibition at the Museum of 20th- and 21st-Century Art in St. Petersburg illustrate the ways in which artists in the Soviet Union and Russia portray children. The range of styes reflect different periods from the 1930s to the present, and the moods and emotions cover the spectrum. Some glorify childhood and their subjects are poignant and joyful; others use more ambiguous imagery suggesting the fears and perplexities of childhood. Late in the twentieth century and in the contemporary period artists often use grotesque imagery to express irony and confusion. 96 p., 25 cm, approx. 100 color illus., Rus. sewn pb. Item #3448
