Russian Distaffs

St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2001. Sewn cl. Closely related to lubki (popular prints) the flat rectangular wooden surfaces of distaffs were ideal for painting. Colorful geometric patterns reminiscent of American Indian art, still-lives of flowing bouquets of flowers, and genre scenes of dining, tea drinking, sledding, and hunting represent the folk talent of capturing everyday life in bright colors and naive forms. n.p., 23 x 25 cm, approx. 50 color illus., ENGLISH.
