From the jacket--Perhaps the most beloved art movement of all time, Impressionism had its roots in France, but soon inspired artists around the world. "Russian Impressionism" documents that explosion in Russia, unveiling canvases that resonate with the pure color, sparkling light, and lively depictions of everyday life that characterized Impressionism at its best. Now, the broad range of Impressionist art in Russia is made abundantly clear through the lush color plates and illuminating essays presented here. Compiled from the vast archives of the State Russin Museum, which holds the complete history of the country's arts, the works displayed in this handsome volume focus on an overlooked chapter in Russia's rich cultural history. With superb paintings by such artists as Vasily Surikov, Valentin Serov, Ilya Repin, Fyodor Vasilyev, and scores of others whose works have rarely or never been published before, this collection is an essential addition to any art lover's library.
