Russian culture developed in contact with the wider European influence, but retained strong native intonations. It is a culture between East and West, and both influences in together. The book begins with Icons, and it is precisely Icon-painting which gave Russian artist their peculiar preoccupation with ethical questions and a certain kind of palette. It goes on the expound the duality of their art, and point out the originality of their contribution to world art. The illustrations cover all genres and styles of painting in astonishing variety.

Excerpt from Russian Art and Art Objects in Russia, a Handbook, Vol. 1 of 2: To the Reproductions of Goldsmiths Work and Other Art Treasures From That Country in the South Kensington Museum Russian art is a subject which has so little occupied public attention, at least in England, so little is known amongst us con cerning it, and so scanty is the information to be gathered from the few notices which exist in our language, that the question whether or not there is a Russian art, distinct and national, has probably entered into the minds of very few persons to consider. Yet those who have given the inquiry the attention it deserves, who have patiently endeavoured to trace the influences which (from the geographical position Of the country) have been brought to bear upon the various races roaming over or inhabiting, under one designation or another, the Russia of to-day, will probably have decided that there is an art, Russian and national and they may further have been enabled to define those characteristics which give it a distinct style, and also trace the various sources whence they may have sprung.

The Russian avant-garde of the 1920s is broadly recognised to have been Russia’s first truly original contribution to world culture. In contrast, Soviet design of the post-war period is often dismissed as hack-work and plagiarism that resulted in a shabby world of commodities. This book offers a new perspective on the history of Soviet design by focusing on the notion of the comradely object as an agent of progressive social relations that state-sponsored Soviet design inherited from the avant-garde. It introduces a shared history of domestic objects, hand-made as well as machine made, mass-produced as well as unique, utilitarian as well as challenging the conventional notion of utility. This is a study of post-avant-garde Russian productivism at the intersection of intellectual history, social history and material culture studies, an account attentive to the complexities and contradictions of Soviet design.
