She also contextualizes and complements her study of the work of these artists with an examination of the activities of a number of important cultural associations and institutions over the course of several decades. As a result, The Icon and the Square gives a more complete picture of Russian modernism: one that attends to the dialogue between generations of artists, curators, collectors, critics, and theorists.The Icon and the Square retrieves a neglected but vital history that was deliberately suppressed by the atheist Soviet regime and subsequently ignored in favor of the secular formalism of mainstream modernist criticism. Taroutina's timely study, which coincides with the centennial reassessments of Russian and Soviet modernism, is sure to invigorate conversation among scholars of art history, modernism, and Russian culture. 606 $aHistory / Russia & The Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 610 00$aImperial Academy of Arts$aradical$achurch$atwentieth century$aByzantine$aRussian modernism$arevolutionary avant-garde$aSoviet Union history$aleftist$aRussia$acrown 615 7$aHistory / Russia & The Former Soviet Union 615 0$aHistory 700 $aTaroutina$b Maria$01171863 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910832996203321 996 $aThe icon and the square$94069781 997 $aUNINA
