About This Item
Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 1995. Cloth, xxi, 356 pages, illustrations (some colour), map; 27 cm. Indiana-Michigan Series in Russian and East European Studies. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light handling soil on edges. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "Russian Folk Art surveys the traditions, styles, and functions of the many objects made by Russian peasant artists and artisans. Placing the objects within the settings in which folk artists worked -- the peasant household, the village, and the local market -- Alison Hilton discusses the principal media artists employed and the items they produced, from dippers and goblets to clothing and window frames. Emphasizing the balance between time-honored forms and techniques and the creativity of individual artists, the book explores how images and designs helped to form a Russian esthetic identity in the 19th and 20th centuries. Abundantly illustrated with examples from Russian museums, Russian Folk Art is a treasure for anyone interested in Russian culture." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 4to.
