Aleksei Venetsianov. Prostranstvo, svet i tishina (Aleksei Venetsianov — space, light and silence); . ,
Moscow: Tret'iakovskaia galereia, 2021. Sewn pb. As the curators put it, space, light and quiet are the themes of the exhibition on which this catalogue is based: it deals with literal aspects of how the artist handles space and light in his paintings and the symbolical meaning that they acquire in his works. "Silence" or quiet denotes the usual compositions of the artists free of tension and drama, focused on one harmonious moment in the world. Venetsianov created a new branch of secular painting: his artistic technique had no precedents (though shaped by Borovikovskii with whom he trained) and his chosen subject, the peasantry, revealed for the first time the dignity and beauty of that class and their way of life. 264 p., 30 cm, approx. 150 color illus., Rus. with summary in ENGLISH.
