Pioneering study ... This book not only fills a yawning gap in English-language literature on Russian art, but it does so elegantly and informatively. Students of the history of Russian art will welcome the book English Historical Review
Review
`without sacrificing an intellectial probity which should appeal to the specialist in the field, this is an articulate and 'user-friendly' volume which should speak also to students of Russian culture in its broadest, multidisciplinary sense, and to an intelligent general readership as well.' Seer, 79, 4
`This is a well-structured and judicious apraisal of an important area of the Russian visual arts which draws on a wealth of original research to produce a scrupulously historical account and a varied set of cultural analyses viewed through the prism of contemporary art historical debates.' Seer, 79, 4
`what makes Gray's study of exceptional interest is her stress on the international perspective' Seer, 79, 4
`thoroughly researched and meticulously argued' Seer, 79, 4
`In what is a woefully under-researched area of Russian art history Rosalind Gray's comprehensive and insightful survey of Russian genre painting in the first three-quarters of the nineteenth century is a welcome and much-needed addition.' Seer, 79, 4
