About This Item
St. Petersburg: Izdatelstvo "Kleo", 2000. Full Calf. Fine. Russian miniature book full of Art Nouveau vignettes from an array of Russian artists, all executed at the turn of the twentieth century -- most are from the first decade of the 20th century. The imagery is full of enchantment, variety and imaginativeness. The publication honors an artistic past that Russians could at last imbibe freely with the fall of the Soviet Union, and it demonstrates how connected the Russians were at the time to the prevailing artistic winds sweeping Europe and America while somehow preserving a certain wonderful Russian otherness. Here one will find represented the celebrated Bilibin but also many names obscure in the West. WIth a gorgeous Art Nouveau cover. One doesn't have to know any Russian to appreciate, enjoy and use this exquisite book.
