This book deals with the peoples and traditions of Siberia. It will interest a wide range of people as it is a book on art, sociology and history.
Documents discovered recently in the hidden backrooms of St Petersburg’s Ethnological Museum have proved to be of sensational importance. In this book, the contents of these documents are reinterpreted and published for the first time. The authors brilliantly convey their enthusiastic admiration for the peoples who have so successfully and for so long contended against both a hostile environment and political dominance.

The Author
Valentina Gorbatcheva and Marina Federova are researchers in the St Petersburg Ethnological Museum and have traveled extensively in Siberia.

The century that changed art forever. The quintessential roundup of art from 1900-2000

Who could possibly have forecast on New Year’s Eve 1899 that, one hundred years later, painting and sculpture would be only options, not prerequisites? The term "art" has been defined and redefined so many times over the last 100 years that it has gained entirely new social, political, and technological meanings.

Ranging across the full spectrum of disciplines available, including photography and new media, and thematically chaptered to highlight relationships between works and movements, this readable and encyclopedic masterwork does just what it says on the cover.

Whether you want Surrealism or Land Art, Fluxus or Bauhaus, this is your be-all, end-all guide to the art of the 20th century. An undertaking as immensely ambitious as this one deserves to be owned by everyone.

Искусство ХХ века. От Климта к Джеффу Куну, и те кто между, - все они здесь! 

Кто бы мог представить в канун Нового, 1899 года, что столетие спустя, живопись и скульптура будут всего лишь возможным, а не необходимым условием для объекта, считающегося искусством. Сам термин "искусство" был определен и переопределялся столько раз за последние сто лет, что приобрел новые социальные, политические и технологические значения. Построенная на полном спектре видов искусства включая фотографию и новое медиа искусство и тематически разделенная на части, чтобы показать связь между работами и направлениями, эта легкая для прочтения, и все же энциклопедическая книга значит именно то, что на ней написано, и что бы вы ни хотели найти - сюрреализм или лэнд арт, Флуксус или Баухаз - это ваш путеводитель по искусству ХХ века.
