Ivan Shishkin iz sobraniia Russkogo muzeia i Tret’iakovskoi galerei (Ivan Shishkin: [Works from] the Russian Museum and the Tretyakov Gallery)

St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2008. sewn cl., Besides publishing many of the great landscape paintings, this exhibition catalogue presents Shishkin’s drawings, engravings, and lithographs. In his engravings and lithographs he had no equal among Russian artists. Occasionally they served as a way of printing and disseminating images from paintings, but more often he used them to express other aspects of nature, texture and mass and form, making his subjects seem tangible. His drawings, too, were never merely ancillary, but an alternative way of conveying reality. In his paintings Shishkin overturned the academic style of landscape painting, establishing the norms of a new realism: accuracy, the kindredness of human and natural worlds, the distinctiveness of the Russian land. 204 pp.,10 1/2 x 10 ins., 38 b-&-w illus., 105 color, Rus., Item #478
