Summary: Awful
Comment: This book was required reading for a class I took on Russian Art and Architecture, and I assure you that if it wasn't required I would not have wasted my time. I feel that Gray's writing is dense, boring, and difficult to understand. She often includes images that she does not discuss or that she discusses in totally different parts of the book, leaving the reader to constantly flip through the book and piece together information in a totally inefficient way. I feel like better organization would have made this book more reader-friendly.

Summary: The Book that Inspired My Interest in Russian Art
Comment: The best single volume on the Russian Avant Garde movement is 'The Russian Experiment in Art, 1863-1922 (World of Art)', orignally written by Camilla Gray (daughter in law of the composer Sergei Prokofiev), and revised by Dr. Marian Burleigh-Motley. Useful for anyone looking to understand how art is inspired by the historical climate of a period, in this case climaxing in a burst of optimism and energy after the end of Tsarist rule.

Summary: A perfect introduction
Comment: Gray provides an excellent introduction to Russian artists who are less well-known in the West only because of the Cold War and the lack of marketing on the part of the Russian museums. If Western museums had owned paintings by these artists, they would have been splashed across every screen saver, coffee mug and calendar. Gray does an admirable job of putting these artists into their fascinating historical context. If anyone is planning a trip to the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow or the Russian States Museum in Petersburg, this book is well worth reading.
