商品簡介
The quintessential guide to Russia’s vibrant and influential Silver Age, now in paperback
In this lavishly illustrated, elegantly written volume, John E. Bowltsheds new light on Russia’s Silver Age, the period of artisticrenaissance that flourished as Imperial Russia’s power waned.Much of the creative energy could be attributed to the Symbolistmovement, whose proponents sought to transcend the barriers ofbourgeois civility and whose unconventional lifestyles led somecritics to label them Decadents and Degenerates. But, as SergeiDiaghilev declared, theirs was not a moral or artistic decline, but a voyage of inner discovery and a reinvention of a national culture. Bowlt’s richly textured volume focuses not only on Russia’s best-known artists from this period—Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, Igor Stravinsky, Anna Pavlova, and poet Anna Akhmatova—but also on lesser-known movements of the day—experimental theater, Nikolai Kalmakov’s innovative painting, and the free dance practiced by followers of Duncan and Dalcroze.

Praise for Moscow & St. Petersburg:
"This book will serve as a reference resource . . . . This ambitious English-language publication aims to cover not only every art group of the time but every aspect of the Russian culture. The pictorial layout of John Bowlt’s book renders the sheer proliferation of new ideas immediately apparent. The highly charged text charts the medley of productions, groups, and individuals, all loosely associated with the symbolist movement, that make up the vast canvas. As the leading specialist in the Russian 20th-century avant-garde, Professor Bowlt is well qualified to place the silver age in context." ~ The Art Newspaper

"(An) authoritative feast of a book." ~ The Irish Times
"Splendidly illustrated, beautifully designed . . . ." ~ Shepherd Express
"A truly seminal work . . . ." ~ Midwest Book Review
"Lavishly illustrated and elegantly written narrative survey." ~ Panache Privée
"A dazzling array of color illustrations and period photos displaying the glories of Russia’s art, architecture and scientific achievements." ~ California Literary Review
