Synopsis
"This provacative and well-researched book addresses situations and questions of the post-WWII world that have long needed attention. Christine Lindey remedies the dearth of information available on the nature of modern Russian art about which all but a few dedicated professionals have only perfunctory or vaguely formulated ideas."-Choice, 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., 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.

- b***b (169)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAfter two poor experiences with this seller, they exceeded my expectations with this order…hard to believe it was the same seller. The book purchased, identified in their listing as “Very Good”, was, in fact, “Like New”. The price was very fair. Shipping was slow, but that seems to be true with many things purchased in the internet. If I have a complaint, it is that the seller will not respond to specific questions about a listed item before the purchase..too many orders to do so! 🙁The Beginning or the End: How Hollywood―and America―Learned to Stop Worrying an (#387783000754)
