The Russian Impressionists and Postimpressionists (Schools & Movements)

The Russian Impressionists and Postimpressionists (Schools & Movements) by Guerman, Mikhail. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781859953402.

Mikhail Guerman traces the converging lines between Russian and French art in this immensely fertile period. 1863 was the year in which Manets ""Dejeuner sur lherbe"" caused a scandal at the Salon dAutomne, and in which the Itinerants group was formed in Russia, to take art to the people and paint the outdoors. 1874 saw the Independents exhibition at Nadars art gallery in Paris, and was the year in which Payel Tretiakov built his art gallery. In 1907 Fauves and Nabis were exhibited in Russia for the first time, whilst Kuznetsov, Larionov and Goncharova radicalised painting and graphics. In the period from 1910 to 1914 there is a second transferral of ideas from French Cubism and Italian Futurism to the Blue Rose movement, which, in its turn, influences the forward movements in the West.
