Vasilii Shukhaev: zhizn' i tvorchestvo (Vasilii Shukhaev: Life and Works); :
Moscow: Galart, 2010. Sewn cl. Shukhaev's career as an artist began just before the 1917 revolution and extended into the 1960s. His acquaintance with major writers and artists such as Alexander Benois and Maksim Gorkii makes his memoirs and correspondence a valuable source on the cultural milieu of the late imperial and early Soviet periods. As a painter, he memorialized figures like Shaliapin and Stravinskii in images that suggest their depth and originality, and his commercial commissions like a caricature of Hitler for a 1933 issue of Vanity Fair show his versatility. 288 pp., 6 3/8 x 9 3/8 ins., 53 b-&-w, 63 color, sewn cl., Rus.
