Synopsis:

This magnificent book--the first comprehensive survey of Socialist Realist painting--traces this style from its artistic and intellectual origins in nineteenth-century Russia through its flowering in the middle of the twentieth century to its decline at the end of the Soviet period.


Review:

"'Socialist Realist Painting' documents a grim passage in art history. But the book's illustrations are so lively and varied that they will renew even a browser's faith in the irrepressibility of painting and the primacy of creativity over politics."

San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 05/03/1998

Review:

"'Socialist Realist Painting' is a lavish, albeit physically unwieldy, amalgam of scholarly history and deluxe picture book."

J. Hoberman, Bookforum, Summer 1998
