Russian modernism between East and West : Natal'ia Goncharova and the Moscow avant-garde

Jane Ashton Sharp (Author)
"Russian Modernism between East and West reconstructs the efforts of avant-garde artists, primarily Natal'ia Goncharova and her Muscovite colleagues, to reclaim Russia's Eastern cultural heritage. Providing a detailed history of avant-garde exhibitions in early twentieth-century Moscow, this study examines how the avant-garde grappled with the problem of national traditions in Russian art. It also serves as an interpretive overview of Goncharova's Russian period, and particularly the sources for her work in popular arts."--Jacket
