Print Modernism in Transition offers a detailed exploration of the major Modernist art periodicals in late imperial Russia, the World of Art (Mir Iskusstva, 1899-1904), The Golden Fleece (Zolotoe runo, 1906-1909) and Apollo (Apollon, 1909-1917).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Art Periodical Culture examines the three journals at once as technological and sociological artifacts of a European print revival and the subsequent awakening of a Russian response to this movement. Chuchvaha also ably demonstrates that the content and form of the journals was the product of both individual and collective human struggle. Chuchvaha offers a useful volume for those wishing to study either Russia’s emergent literary culture at the end of the nineteenth century or the growth of Russian artistic theory and its broader cultural impact prior to the 1917 Revolution.\" - John Ellison, in: Slavic and East European Journal 61\/2 (2017), 366-367  \"What places her work apart, however, is the primacy which she affords to the physical peculiarities of each publication, and the nature of the intermedial relations between their visual and literary texts. Taking her cue from developments in book and periodical studies, especially Gérard Genette’s insistence on the importance of paratexts, Chuchvaha attends to such critical but neglected aspects as the binding, cover, logo, and font to shed light on the materiality and agency of these remarkably creative vehicles of Modernist thought.\" - Rosalind Blakesley, in: The Russian Review, Volume 76, Issue 11 (January 2017), pp. 145-146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements List of Figures  Introduction  The Materiality of the Book and Gérard Genette’s Thresholds  Word-Image Intermediality  Art Journals in the Cultural Context and Structure of the Book  Chapter I: When Russia Learned to Reproduce Art: Graphic Design, Materials and Printing Techniques in Nineteenth-Century Imperial Russia  Early Russian Periodical Design  The Popular Illustrated Press in the Nineteenth Century\t  Art Periodicals in Imperial Russia  The “Age of Mechanical Reproduction” in Russia: Reproduction Techniques in Historical Perspective  The Periodical Personalised: Cover Pages and Binding  The Periodical Press and Censorship  Conclusion  Chapter II: World of Art and the Origins of the Print Revival in Late Imperial Russia  The World of Art in Scholarship Emergence of the World of Art in the Cultural-Historical Context  The Art Periodical Press before the World of Art: Art and Art Industry  Abramtsevo and Talashkino, the Arts and Crafts Movement  The Modern Style  The “Circle” of Art-Lovers and the Emergence of the World of Art  Vladimir Stasov vs. Sergei Diaghilev  Editorial Board: Sergei Diaghilev vs. Alexandre Benois and Other Participants of the World of Art  The Patrons of the World of Art and the Journal’s Closure  The Editorial Mission Statement The World of Art and its Paratextual Qualities: Materiality and the Visual in the Context of the Editorial Mission Statement and Other Texts  A European Type Journal  The Title and Logo  The Cover Page   Graphic Design and Art Reproduction: Abramtsevo and Viktor Vasnetsov in the World of Art  Toward Europeanism  Viewing vs. Reading: Word-Image Intermediality  Conclusion  Chapter III: The Golden Fleece or Russia’s \"Très Riches Heures\"  The Golden Fleece in Scholarship The Golden Fleece: The Art-Historical Context  The Russian Art Periodical Press after the World of Art  Nikolai Riabushinskii: Publisher, Editor-in-chief and Art Patron  Main Contributors  The Bilingual Presentation of Russian Cosmopolitanism  The Editorial Statement  Reception of the Journal by Contemporaries The Golden Fleece: the Paratextual Dimension  Extravagance in the ‘Time of Troubles’: From ‘Materialism’ to Materiality’  The Title: Meaning and Sources  The Cover Page: Visual Sources and Symbolism  The Art Reproductions  The World of Art in The Golden Fleece: Graphic Design and Illustration  Symbolist Illustration  Conclusion  Chapter IV: Apollo: Between “Archaism” and Modernism  Apollo in Scholarship Contextual Preconditions for Apollo: Classical Revival Tendencies and the New Paradigm for Book Art  Classical Revival: the Term  Sergei Makovskii and the Birth of Apollo  Apollo’s Contributors: Creating a Group Identity  Apollonian \/ Dionysian  “In Expectation of the Hymn to Apollo”  Dance: the Apollonian Gesamtkunstwerk  Art as Theurgy  Apollonian Satire: \"The Bees and Wasps of Apollo\"  Articulating a Paradigm for Book Art: Alexandre Benois’s “The Objectives of Graphic Art” Apollo and its Textual and Paratextual Standards: Materiality, Archeology of the Visual and Apollonianism  Materiality, the Title and the Cover Page   The Title Page: Connecting Greek Archaism with Modernism   The Russian Cretan Quest and the Origins of Archaism   The “Archeological” Meaning of the Title Page   Art Reproductions   Apollo’s Graphic Design and its “Architectural” Meaning   Illustrations in the Literary Almanac   Conclusion  Conclusion Bibliography  Primary Sources  List of Selected Illustrated Magazines and Art Periodicals published in the Nineteenth Century  List of Selected Art Periodicals published in the Twentieth Century  Secondary Sources  Glossary of Terms Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210648969559,"sku":"9789004269262","price":149.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/art-periodical-culture-in-late-imperial-russia-1898-1917-print-modernism-in-transition-9789004269262","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
