Placing the objects within the settings in which folk artists worked--the peasant household, the village, and the local market--Alison Hilton discusses the principal media artists employed and the items they produced, from dippers and goblets to clothing and window frames. Emphasizing the balance between time-honored forms and techniques and the creativity of individual artists, the book explores how images and designs helped to form a Russian esthetic identity in the 19th and 20th centuries. Abundantly illustrated with examples from Russian museums, \u003ci\u003eRussian Folk Art\u003c\/i\u003e is a treasure for anyone interested in Russian culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50119624196319,"sku":"9780253223357","price":44.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/bWUzb3NoN3lMR01HUmVGSksrdzNnZz09.webp?v=1781567816","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/russian-folk-art-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
