The Russian avant-garde was a composite of antagonistic groups who wished to overthrow the basic aesthetics of classical realism. Modernism was the totality of these numerous aesthetic theories, which achieved a measure of coherence immediately after the First World War. This collection of essays by leading scholars examines the major figures, movements, and manifestos of the period. Scholarly attention is given to literature, visual arts, cinema, and theatre in an attempt to capture the complex nature of the modernist movement in Russia. This book would be especially relevant for university courses on the Russian twentieth century as well as for those looking for a comprehensive approach to the various movements and artistic expressions that constitute the Russian avant-garde.
Editorial : A remarkable volume, The Russian Avant-Garde and Radical Modernism brings together the most significant movements and figures in Russian experimental art, cinema, and literature of the early twentieth century (both pre-Soviet and Soviet) and presents them in commentary by leading scholars in the field. The result is a vibrant introduction to Russian aesthetic thought of the last century, as well as to cutting-edge assessments of its meaning. A volume like this has long been overdue. It will be enormously useful to students of Russian culture in the modern era as well as anyone seeking a better understanding of modernism in general an artistic movement to which Russian artists made particularly brilliant contributions. --Thomas Seifrid, University of Southern California

This is plain and simply a wonderful collection of classical pieces that are appropriate for Church Services and recitals. But then I thought back to my own naivete as I was entering the work force and had to confess I made some of those blunders. If you are interested in Digital Art or Digital Photography, this is an awesome book. The book ends with small representations of the entire works from which details were taken. The understanding of human nature gained as a psychotherapist is clear in each chapter as Janice explains how to change the way people behave in organizations. This is another part of the Schiffer Earth science Monographs and is accurate and a good basic guide for studying more on tourmaline. It has all the teacher instructions, children's activities and letters to parents included in the one book! I plan on usi
