Vernost’ traditsii: zhivopis’ peterburgskikh khudozhnikov iz chastnykh kollektsii / True to Tradition: Paintings by St. Petersburg Artists from a Private Collection
St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2015. sewn cl. The collector's interest in realistic art is evident in this catalogue of works by Leningrad/St. Petersburg artists of the second half of the twentieth century. Partly owing to the influence of the Academy of Fine Arts and partly affected by the Soviet regime's suppression of experimental art and so-called formalism, many artists willy-nilly worked in a realistic vein. Short biographies on approximately twenty Soviet and contemporary painters enhance the usefulness of the catalogue. 357 p., 30 x 28 cm, approx. 300 color illus., Rus. or ENGLISH Series: Russian Museum Almanac 443.
