Download or read book The Ransom of Russian Art written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John McPhee's The Ransom of Russian Art is a suspenseful, chilling, and fascinating report on a covert operation like no other. It offers unprecedented insight into Soviet culture at the brink of the Union's collapse. In the 1960s and 1970s, an American professor of Soviet economics forayed on his own in the Soviet Union, bought the work of underground "unofficial" artists, and brought it out himself or arranged to have it illegally shipped to the United States. Norton Dodge visited the apartments of unofficial artists in at least a dozen geographically scattered cities. By 1977, he had a thousand works of art. His ultimate window of interest involved the years from 1956 to 1986, and through his established contacts he eventually acquired another eight thousand works—by far the largest collection of its kind. McPhee investigates Dodge's clandestine activities in the service of dissident Soviet art, his motives for his work, and the fates of several of the artists whose lives he touched.

Download or read book Reclaiming and Redefining American Exhibitions of Russian Art written by Roann Barris and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the history of American exhibitions of Russian art in the twentieth century in the context of the Cold War. Because this history reflects changes in museological theory and the role of governments in facilitating or preventing intercultural cooperation, it uncovers a story that is far more complex than a chronological listing of exhibition names and art works. Roann Barris considers questions of stylistic appropriations and influences and the role of museum exhibitions in promoting international and artistic exchanges. Barris reveals that Soviet and American exchanges in the world of art were extensive and persistent despite political disagreements before, during, and after the Cold War. It also reveals that these early exhibitions communicated contradictory and historically invalid pictures of the Russian or Soviet avant-garde. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, and Russian studies.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elegant book reveals a body of art practice previously and necessarily hidden from public view in both the Soviet Union and the West. Bringing together artists who worked in a broad range of styles and approaches, and often at great personal risk, Forbidden Art reveals artwork that challenged Soviet totalitarianism. From the horrific purges of the Stalin Era, to the time before the Soviet Union's collapse -- when failure to conform could result in loss of employment, imprisonment or death -- this book documents the heroic legacy of Soviet nonconformist art, and includes a group of scholarly essays on such issues as the relation of Russian "outsider art" to the avant-garde. With a bibliography and artist biographies, this book is a captivating reminder of the artist's role in challenging the status quo.
