ABOUT:

Very rare and unique, limited edition, illustrated, 1940, history of Russian art in the 18th century.
The turn of the XVII and XVIII centuries. in Russia for her art has an exceptional value: in history there are few periods when such lightning speed would occur so grandiose changes. The complex and contradictory era of turn of the century is reflected in the complex and contradictory culture. Exemption from religious dogmas and the emergence of secular art, the transformation of the human form, the desire for accurate representation of reality, cognitive character of art and trend fusion of science and art, simplification of life on the one hand, and decorative splendor and solemn splendor, on the other - all of this together and created a unique originality of Russian culture XVII - XVIII centuries.

--------------------------------------------------

Рубеж XVII и XVIII вв. в России для ее искусства имеет значение исключительное: в истории немного найдется периодов, когда с такой молниеносной быстротой происходили бы столь грандиозные перемены. Сложная и противоречивая эпоха рубежа двух столетий получила отражение в сложной и противоречивой культуре. Освобождение от церковных догм и появление светского искусства, преображение самого человеческого облика, стремление к точному отображению реальной действительности, познавательный характер искусства и тенденция слияния науки и искусства, опрощение быта с одной стороны и декоративная пышность и торжественная парадность с другой - все это вместе взятое и создавало неповторимое своеобразие русской культуры XVII - XVIII вв.
