Art of Russia. Smashing the mould. Episode 3
Description
Art historian Andrew Graham Dixon unlocks the mystery, variety and history of Russia's unique art in this compelling series. He begins with a celebration of the great age of the icon, when Russia was at its most intense and inward looking. Andrew then discovers Peter the Great's artistic revolution; relives the glory days of the Russian high baroque; and assesses the influence of "the Wanderers" - an extraordinary group of artists comparable to the Impressionists. The series concludes with a look at the tumultuous period of 20th century Russia, from the Revolution of 1917 to the present day.
