About This Item
New York: Redfield-Kendrick-Odell Company, 1921. First, limited to 3,000 copies. Hardbound. Good, ex-library with typical markings, slight damp stain along top edge.. Printed glued wraps with red script on front. [36] pp + 21 bw plates one to a sheet and 2 bw photographs within the text. Contains a biography, a catalogue listing 42 of his works, and 21 illustrations of his works. This catalogue seems somewhat larger, both physical and content-wise, than the Kingore Galleries catalogue of the same era, though it shares many features.
From the jacket of another book about him--Ilya Repin was Russia's foremost artist of the nineteenth century, yet his life and work are little known outside of that country. His great talent established realism as the national painting style, and the reverence for his work was so strong among the general public that when one of his paintings was slashed, the desecration occasioned nationwide outrage. Yet because Stalinist Russia canonized him as precursor and exemplar for Socialist Realism, Repin's vibrant and masterly works have been largely ignored in the West.
