About This Item
Craftsman House , 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Tightly bound, clean bright pages, lightly shelfworn jacket. This work explores the deranged psycho-spiritual imagery that flowed into "alternative" Soviet art in response to the oppression of the State. The eccentric artists whose work are discussed here, experienced fantasy as reality and felt that, collectively, their lives resembled "a competition of madness". However for them there was no alternative - the standards of the totalitarian state were even more terrifying than insanity itself. The "Moscow Schizoids" lived in two worlds at the same time - the physical and the imaginary - but both dimensions were equally real in different ways. For these artists, creative expression provided a path culminating in liberty and "truth" - an escape from social oppression to a visionary realm beyond. Illustrated. 120 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 750 grams. Category: Art & Design; ISBN/EAN: 9789766410490. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request.
