About this title

Synopsis

A stunning hardcover catalogue covers the first retrospective in 30 years of this Russian-American who was one of the major artists of the 1930s and 40s. Pavel Tchelitchew (1898-1957) was an allegorist and mystical thinker whose images dealt with the human figure and its relationship to nature. Barbara Bloemink’s essay examines the transformative elements in the artist’s work, while curator Michael Duncan chronicles the artist’s development and explains why, at this time, Tchelitchew’s career warrants reexamination. There are 27 full-page color illustrations (including Hide-and Seek from MoMA, NY, and Phenomena, from ?Moscow’s Tretyakov Gallery) as well as black-and-white sketches and photographs.
