IMPRESSIONISM and POST-IMPRESSIONISM

Nathalia Brodskaïa

Diego Velázquez (1599-1660) es uno de los artistas más famosos del mundo. Representante de la pintura europea del siglo XVII, trabajó para la corte española y para los personajes más importantes completando numerosos retratos. Sin embargo, apasionado por la figura humana, su obra también abarca los bodegones, representaciones de la vida cotidiana en las tabernas y cocinas de España. Considerado el padre de la pintura española, Velázquez inspiró a generaciones enteras de artistas que le siguieron, incluyendo a Picasso, Dalí y Bacon. Su misterioso cuadro Las Meninas, que contiene la esencia de su obra, sigue siendo hoy una fuente inagotable para la escritura y la investigación.

The World of Art and Diaghilev’s painters

Vsevolod Petrov

The 1860s were marked by a strong realistic movement in Russian painting. Artists became interested in depicting the lives and customs of their fellow countrymen. This new art form was mostly the work of the Itinerants group, who wanted to take art to the people and paint the outdoors. Mikhail Guerman traces the converging lines of Russian and French art in the immensely fertile period of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Miller, Elizabeth

Icon painting, the ultimate expression of Othodox Christian art, reachedrits zenith in the Ukraine between the 11th and 18th centuries. This book spans the entire period, showing the developpement of the style. The Ukrainian icon is a surprising synthesis of the traditions of eastern Byzantine art and the stylistic characteristics of Russian icon-painting. The introduction of this book explains the stages of developpement of icon-painting over five centuries in the Ukraine’s major Centers of art - Kiev, Chernigov, Transcarpathia, Galicia, and Volhynia - and discusses the life and work of the masters of icon-painting. Despite the strict stylistic considerations imposed by the genre, Ukrainian icons display a striking range and variety of background and context. The author has been awarded the Ukrainian Medal of Arts, the Order of Princess Olga.
