Moscow: tsentrpoligraf, 2006. sewn cl. From its heyday in the romantic period of the early nineteenth century to its role in the growing tendency to realism lithography was a vital part of graphic art of Russia. The author emphasizes the role of the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts in fostering the technique. She sees its decline after 1850 as photography and other forms of graphic art attracted artists. A second flourishing of lithography took place during Russia's Silver Age, when major artists of the World of Art like Benois, Lansere, Dobuzhinskii and Bakst applied their creative vigor to the technique. Biographical outline of lithographers, a bibliography, and index of persons and subjects make the book a useful reference on this genre. 301 p., 27 cm, approx. 150 color and b/w illus., Rus.
