[Peter · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent book on what is now called Russian Impressionism. Two very good essays plus a large number of color plates presenting paintings of many Russian artists who could be considered close in style to traditional French Impressionism. It makes the book very large and heavy. While best-known painters like Polenov, Serov, Korovin, Repin represented better than others, in total the essay and the plates cover an impressive number of artists and really well express the panorama of Russian art at the in late 1800 and early 1900. Until a better and more systematic book is published, this volume should be considered as the definitive source for Russian Impressionism.
