THE RUSSIAN EXPERIMENT IN ART
1863-1922
Camilla Gray

When the original edition of this book was published, John Russell hailed it as "a massive contribution to our knowledge of one of the most fascinating and mysterious episodes in the history of modern art." Revised and expanded by Marian Burleigh-Motley, the book remains the most compact, accurate, reasonably priced survey of sixty years of creative dynamic activity that influenced the progress of Western art and architecture.

"A major—in fact pioneering—contribution to the study not just of Russian art, but of the 'modern movement' as a whole."      —The Guardian

"The only comprehensive survey of the field." 
                                            —Soviet Studies

"A book of the utmost importance to the student of art history."       —Arts Review
