Soviet Dis-union by Anonim Pdf

"[This book] has been organized to provide a unique opportunity to challenge current artistic paradigms by displaying the diversity, creativity and technical brilliance that is incorporated in both Socialist Realist and nonconformist art. The exhibition presents examples of the two internally competing views of contemporary life in the Soviet Union, providing a cross section of the art of the period as a mirror of a society that was largely isolated from most Americans at the time."--From introduction.

Art in the Cold War by Christine Lindey Pdf

This book, which covers new ground, is a study of high and low art, official and unofficial, in the Soviet Union and the West in the Cold War years, 1945 62. It is a paradox that the Soviet Union, a nation born of revolution, should have encouraged 'official' art which was conservative and conformist, whereas Western Europe, and the USA in particular, should preach traditional values, but have a high art which spoke of dissent. Other curious contradictions and parallels emerge Soviet 'official' art was predominantly realist in style and popular with the general public, as were popular prints in the West. Both have largely been ignored by the western art establishment. It is the unofficial art of the Soviet Union and the high art of the West for example, Rothko, Pollock, Bacon and Dubuffet which have always attracted critical attention. Christine Lindey's pioneering study examines these paradoxes and illustrates many artists, notably those from the Soviet Union, whose work has rarely been seen in the West. As glasnost changes our perceptions of the contemporary Soviet Union, here is the first history of all aspects of art there in the postwar years, set in the political context, and comparing it with developments in art in the West."

Art beyond Borders by Jérôme Bazin,Pascal Dubourg Glatigny,Piotr Piotrowski Pdf

This book presents and analyzes artistic interactions both within the Soviet bloc and with the West between 1945 and 1989. During the Cold War the exchange of artistic ideas and products united Europe’s avant-garde in a most remarkable way. Despite the Iron Curtain and national and political borders there existed a constant flow of artists, artworks, artistic ideas and practices. The geographic borders of these exchanges have yet to be clearly defined. How were networks, centers, peripheries (local, national and international), scales, and distances constructed? How did (neo)avant-garde tendencies relate with officially sanctioned socialist realism? The literature on the art of Eastern Europe provides a great deal of factual knowledge about a vast cultural space, but mostly through the prism of stereotypes and national preoccupations. By discussing artworks, studying the writings on art, observing artistic evolution and artists’ strategies, as well as the influence of political authorities, art dealers and art critics, the essays in Art beyond Borders compose a transnational history of arts in the Soviet satellite countries in the post war period.

The Ransom of Russian Art by John McPhee Pdf

John McPhee's The Ransom of Russian Art is a suspenseful, chilling, and fascinating report on a covert operation like no other. It offers unprecedented insight into Soviet culture at the brink of the Union's collapse. In the 1960s and 1970s, an American professor of Soviet economics forayed on his own in the Soviet Union, bought the work of underground "unofficial" artists, and brought it out himself or arranged to have it illegally shipped to the United States. Norton Dodge visited the apartments of unofficial artists in at least a dozen geographically scattered cities. By 1977, he had a thousand works of art. His ultimate window of interest involved the years from 1956 to 1986, and through his established contacts he eventually acquired another eight thousand works—by far the largest collection of its kind. McPhee investigates Dodge's clandestine activities in the service of dissident Soviet art, his motives for his work, and the fates of several of the artists whose lives he touched.

Beyond Memory by Diane Neumaier Pdf

Photography possesses a powerful ability to bear witness, aid remembrance, shape, and even alter recollection. In Beyond Memory: Soviet Nonconformist Photography and Photo-Related Works of Art, the general editor, Diane Neumaier, and twenty-three contributors offer a rigorous examination of the medium's role in late Soviet unofficial art. Focusing on the period between the mid-1950s and the late 1980s, they explore artists' unusually inventive and resourceful uses of photography within a highly developed Soviet dissident culture. During this time, lack of high-quality photographic materials, complimented by tremendous creative impulses, prompted artists to explore experimental photo-processes such as camera and darkroom manipulations, photomontage, and hand-coloring. Photography also took on a provocative array of forms including photo installation, artist-made samizdat (self-published) books, photo-realist painting, and many other surprising applications of the flexible medium. Beyond Memory shows how innovative conceptual moves and approaches to form and content-echoes of Soviet society's coded communication and a Russian sense of absurdity-were common in the Soviet cultural underground. Collectively, the works in this anthology demonstrate how late-Soviet artists employed irony and invention to make positive use of difficult circumstances. In the process, the volume illuminates the multiple characters of photography itself and highlights the leading role that the medium has come to play in the international art world today. Beyond Memory stands on its own as a rigorous examination of photography's place in late Soviet unofficial art, while also serving as a supplement to the traveling exhibition of the same title.

Komar/Melamid, Two Soviet Dissident Artists by Vitaly Komar,Aleksandr Melamid Pdf

The state of the Soviet artist, summed up by Solzhenitsyn in "The First Circle" a" "great writer is, so to speak, a second government of his country is exemplified by the two dissident artists parodies of state art collected here for the first time.The fate of Vitali Komar and Aleksandr Melamid, who only recently were allowed to immigrate to Israel, is well known to art critics and historians, if only from the extensive reviews of the shows of their paintings at the Feldman Gallery in New York in 1976 and 1977.An in-depth discussion of the paintings and of the background of Soviet dissident art is provided by Jack Burnham, chairman of the Department of Art at Northwestern University, in his scholarly Introduction, Paradox and Politics: The Art of Komar and Melamid. For the uninitiated, the Komar-Melamid paintings (their work is a collaborative effort) no doubt will be a surprise and a delight: it is at once sprightly, intricate, and mystical. Called Sots art (for Socialist art), it is a kind of Pop that parodies the propaganda posters and street banners designed for public consumption by Russian officialdom. The Sots subjects from the first show include the stern head of a worker holding his finger to his lips and entitled Don t Babble, several banners with such slogans as Glory to Labor and Our Goal Communism, and a painting of a Laika cigarette pack using as its emblem the Soviet dog sent into orbit with Sputnik II in 1957.But Pop is only a part of these versatile artists repertory. From the second show, especially noteworthy are Factory for the Production of Blue Smoke, an Arcadian scene with mystical as well as social significance; the complex TransState, the artists creation of a unique form of internationalism open to any person in the world dissatisfied with his own country; and the magical Farewell to Russia.
