Book excerpt: Photography possesses a powerful ability to bear witness, aid remembrance, shape, and even alter recollection. In Beyond Memory: Soviet Nonconformist Photography and Photo-Related Works of Art, the general editor, Diane Neumaier, and twenty-three contributors offer a rigorous examination of the medium's role in late Soviet unofficial art. Focusing on the period between the mid-1950s and the late 1980s, they explore artists' unusually inventive and resourceful uses of photography within a highly developed Soviet dissident culture. During this time, lack of high-quality photographic materials, complimented by tremendous creative impulses, prompted artists to explore experimental photo-processes such as camera and darkroom manipulations, photomontage, and hand-coloring. Photography also took on a provocative array of forms including photo installation, artist-made samizdat (self-published) books, photo-realist painting, and many other surprising applications of the flexible medium. Beyond Memory shows how innovative conceptual moves and approaches to form and content-echoes of Soviet society's coded communication and a Russian sense of absurdity-were common in the Soviet cultural underground. Collectively, the works in this anthology demonstrate how late-Soviet artists employed irony and invention to make positive use of difficult circumstances. In the process, the volume illuminates the multiple characters of photography itself and highlights the leading role that the medium has come to play in the international art world today. Beyond Memory stands on its own as a rigorous examination of photography's place in late Soviet unofficial art, while also serving as a supplement to the traveling exhibition of the same title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John McPhee's The Ransom of Russian Art is a suspenseful, chilling, and fascinating report on a covert operation like no other. It offers unprecedented insight into Soviet culture at the brink of the Union's collapse. In the 1960s and 1970s, an American professor of Soviet economics forayed on his own in the Soviet Union, bought the work of underground "unofficial" artists, and brought it out himself or arranged to have it illegally shipped to the United States. Norton Dodge visited the apartments of unofficial artists in at least a dozen geographically scattered cities. By 1977, he had a thousand works of art. His ultimate window of interest involved the years from 1956 to 1986, and through his established contacts he eventually acquired another eight thousand works—by far the largest collection of its kind. McPhee investigates Dodge's clandestine activities in the service of dissident Soviet art, his motives for his work, and the fates of several of the artists whose lives he touched.

Book excerpt: "[This book] has been organized to provide a unique opportunity to challenge current artistic paradigms by displaying the diversity, creativity and technical brilliance that is incorporated in both Socialist Realist and nonconformist art. The exhibition presents examples of the two internally competing views of contemporary life in the Soviet Union, providing a cross section of the art of the period as a mirror of a society that was largely isolated from most Americans at the time."--From introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents and analyzes artistic interactions both within the Soviet bloc and with the West between 1945 and 1989. During the Cold War the exchange of artistic ideas and products united Europe?s avant-garde in a most remarkable way. Despite the Iron Curtain and national and political borders there existed a constant flow of artists, artworks, artistic ideas and practices. The geographic borders of these exchanges have yet to be clearly defined. How were networks, centers, peripheries (local, national and international), scales, and distances constructed? How did (neo)avant-garde tendencies relate with officially sanctioned socialist realism? The literature on the art of Eastern Europe provides a great deal of factual knowledge about a vast cultural space, but mostly through the prism of stereotypes and national preoccupations. By discussing artworks, studying the writings on art, observing artistic evolution and artists? strategies, as well as the influence of political authorities, art dealers and art critics, the essays in Art beyond Borders compose a transnational history of arts in the Soviet satellite countries in the post war period. ÿ

This book was released on 1998 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elegant book reveals a body of art practice previously and necessarily hidden from public view in both the Soviet Union and the West. Bringing together artists who worked in a broad range of styles and approaches, and often at great personal risk, Forbidden Art reveals artwork that challenged Soviet totalitarianism. From the horrific purges of the Stalin Era, to the time before the Soviet Union's collapse -- when failure to conform could result in loss of employment, imprisonment or death -- this book documents the heroic legacy of Soviet nonconformist art, and includes a group of scholarly essays on such issues as the relation of Russian "outsider art" to the avant-garde. With a bibliography and artist biographies, this book is a captivating reminder of the artist's role in challenging the status quo.

Book excerpt: In the decades of the Cold War before glasnost and perestroika, dissident Soviet artists produced a dramatic, vital body of art - work that was forbidden and secret, but that survived and flourished despite persecution. Artists risked personal safety, imprisonment, and exile in their quest for individual expression. In opposition to the government-prescribed patriotic style of Socialist Realism, these "unofficial" artists worked in prohibited styles - abstraction, Surrealism, Expressionism, Photorealism, and Conceptualism - and depicted forbidden subject matter concerned with politics, religion, and eroticism. Until glasnost and the end of the Soviet Union, few people were familiar with the richness of this art; now the full story can be told. During the thirty-year Cold War period, Norton Dodge, Professor Emeritus of Economics at St. Mary's College of Maryland, amassed a collection of approximately 10,000 works of art by more than 900 Soviet artists. Published in collaboration with the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, which now houses the collection, this book reproduces a selection of these remarkable works in a wide range of media including paintings, sculpture, photography, works on paper, banners, and performance art. Among the artists represented are Grisha Bruskin, Eric Bulatov, Mikhail Chemiakin, Ilya Kabakov, Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, Leonid Lamm, Lydia Masterkova, Ernst Neizvestny, Vladimir Ovchinnikov, Oscar Rabin, Evgenii Rukhin, and Oleg Tselkov. The seventeen accompanying essays provide a broad perspective on the subject, addressing a variety of issues and themes: methods of artistic control and oppression; the relationship of the work of these dissident artists to that of their Western counterparts; the dilemmas facing "official" artists who created subversive works; and the risky activities of collectors, most notably Norton Dodge.
