Explore the influence of Impressionism on Russian painters at the end of the 19th century and
early 20th century.
In the late 19th century, numerous Russian artists found inspiration in the style of French
Impressionist painters. Often, a journey to Paris acted as a catalyst for their burgeoning interest
in the movement. They developed a preference for working en plein air and aimed to capture
transitory effects through a spontaneous and free handling of the brush. Many leading painters of
the later Russian avant-garde arrived at their individual styles due to studying the Impressionist
use of light. This lavishly illustrated volume explores the many-layered ways French
Impressionism influenced the evolution of Russian art from the 1880s to the 1920s, including the
work of painters as diverse as Ilya Repin, Valentin Serov, Konstantin Korovin, Natalia
Goncharova, and Kazimir Malevich. Essays by many of the leading scholars in the field provide
rich new insights into one of the most intriguing chapters of Russian modernism.
