Russian Paintings and Drawings in the Ashmolean Museum

Unparalleled in any other British institution, the collection of Russian drawings and watercolors at the Ashmolean Museum includes ballet designs by Bakst, Benois, and Korovine; drawings by Leonid Pasternak; and works on poetic subjects by Somov, Serov, and Rerikh. A revised and considerably extended edition of the 1970 catalogue by art historian Larissa Salmina-Haskell, the collection here appears for the first time with color reproductions.
