1900-1980s
By Vern G. Swanson
A Fascinating Account of the Evolutionary
Development of Impressionist
Painting Within
the Former Soviet Union
In this volume lavishly illustrated with 176 color plates, art
historian Vern G. Swanson, Ph.D.
analyzes the body of
work now considered by many to
be the twentieth century's
major realist school of painting.
Soviet Impressionism
traces the discovery of Russia's
"hidden treasures" in the
late 1980s to their introduction
into the western world
throughout the early '90s and
to their broad acceptance
today. Starting with the years
leading up to the Bolshevik
Revolution in 1917, the author
describes in sixteen chapters
the evolution of the artists
and the era that influenced their
work. Swanson's narrative explains
the distinctions within
the genre in straight forward
prose, well annotated and
referenced. Further, it places
this art in the context of one of
the most turbulent times in history:
through two World Wars
and within the rise and fall
of Communism. Dr. Swanson's
insights into the artists' on-going
challenge to maintain
artistic integrity while avoiding
denunciation or imprisonment
contribute to the uniqueness
of this masterful work. Its
immense scope, depth and scholarship
commend it as an
indispensable book for anyone
interested in this dramatic
subject.
Dr. Vern G. Swanson's Soviet Impressionism dispels harsh
stereotypes of the twentieth
century Russian Impressionist
school of painting. During the
past eleven years Dr.
Swanson has made sixteen trips
to Russia and other
countries of the former Soviet
Union, visiting the studios of
some 400 artists. Such credentials
qualify him as one of
the foremost experts on the genre,
and he has written
numerous catalogs and articles.
In a treatise entitled "The
Phenomenon of Soviet Art," he
termed the introduction of
museum quality paintings from
the former USSR into the
Western European and American
art scene the most
significant art story of the
1990s. He is also known for his
publications on academic-realists
of the nineteenth century,
especially Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema
and John William
Godward. A graduate in art history
from Brigham Young
University and the University
of Utah, he holds a doctorate
from the Courtauld Institute
of Art, University of London.
Since 1980 he has been director
of the Springville Museum
of Art in Springville, Utah.
Previously he served at the
National Gallery of Art in Washington,
D.C. and as
assistant professor of art history
at Auburn University.
