About the Item

1. "Ingres" by Valentina Berezina. This book is dedicated to the life and work of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, one of France's most outstanding artists. The edition was published by Izoblagostitelnoye Iskusstvo (Fine Art) in 1977 and contains 232 pages. Author: V.N. Berezina Publisher: Izoblagostitelnoye Iskusstvo (Fine Art) Year of Publication: 1977 Condition: Very Good Place of Publication: Moscow Number of Pages: 232 Binding: Hardback. Dust Jacket Format: Slightly Enlarged Book Description V.N. Berezina, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, one of France's most outstanding artists, was a subtle painter and brilliant draftsman, the creator of superb portraits and a variety of historical and genre compositions. Nevertheless, his contemporaries, as well as his descendants, have never ceased debating the merits of his works, offering varying assessments of their characteristics. The master's innovation and the depth of his use of older artistic traditions, the balance between the principles of classicism and romanticism in his work, and, finally, the place of Ingres's legacy in the history of French art—each scholar offers their own answers to these questions, and their opinions are often contradictory. Not a single monograph devoted to Ingres has yet appeared in Soviet art history. This largely determines the purpose of this work: to examine the master's life and work, and to answer, to the best of the author's ability, each of the questions posed here. 2. "V.N. Baksheev. Life and Work," by Mikhail Sokolnikov. This book is dedicated to the life and work of the Russian-Soviet painter and People's Artist of the USSR Vasily Nikolaevich Baksheev (1862–1958). This edition was published by Iskusstvo Publishing House in 1972 and contains 220 pages. Cover Author: M. P. Sokolnikov Author: Mikhail Porfiryevich Sokolnikov Iskusstvo Publishing House Year of Publication: 1972 Binding: Calico + dust jacket Book Type: Second-hand Books Number of Pages: 220 Publication Format: 70x90/16 Circulation: 10,000 Good condition. 3 "Georges Seurat, Paul Signac. Letters, Diaries, Literary Heritage, Memories of Contemporaries." This collection is dedicated to the lives and works of the French artists Seurat and Signac, the founders of a new movement in painting at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries—Neo-Impressionism. This edition was published by Iskusstvo Publishing House in 1976 and contains 335 pages. This collection is dedicated to the lives and works of the French artists Seurat and Signac, the founders of Neo-Impressionism, a new movement in painting at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. The inclusion of Seurat and Signac in one book is motivated by the fact that the legacy of Georges Seurat, who died so young, is very limited. Paul Signac, who lived more than thirty years longer than Seurat, was not only his collaborator but also a follower of his research, a scholar of Neo-Impressionism. 4. T.A. Lebedeva's book is dedicated to Ivan Nikitin, the greatest portrait artist of the 18th century. Based on extensive archival materials, the author reconstructs the complex and little-studied biography of this remarkable Russian artist, who, after the death of Peter the Great, was unjustly accused of treason and spent many years in exile. Nikitin's portraits are distinguished by their profound authenticity. This book will be a great read for anyone interested in fine art. Cover artist: T. A. Lebedeva / Tatyana Aleksandrovna Lebedeva Publisher: Iskusstvo Year of publication: 1975 Book type: Second-hand books Language: Russian Number of pages: 170 A good second-hand copy of a book about a remarkable Russian artist! If you are interested in a specific book, I can create a separate listing for it.
