Description:Excerpt from The Chefs-D'oeuvre of the Exposition Universelle, 1900It can scarcely be said that the art of his native country, so far, at least, is either bound by these limitations or rises to these noble missions. Much of it has developed under the inﬂuence of an intelligent pessimism; the sorrow of created things has touched writers, painters, and sculp tors. The authors, peculiarly, are filled with the ﬂavor of their native soil, with the sympathy with their own race: the painters hesitate between the rude but sincere expression of the personal and national note and a more or less complete adoption of foreign methods. Most of them have gone abroad to study, and many have fallen completely under the sway of alien and more cultured inﬂuences. Naturally, in the earlier days of this contemporary school, the number of those thus denational ized was more considerable than at present; the course of development of Russian painting in the nineteenth century may be said to have been from servile borrowing of the foreign to a national and barbaric originality, strong, and quite wanting in the discipline of taste, and from this, again, to a higher and more cultured manifestation in which, in individual cases, the national spirit still makes itself felt. The modern tendency to cosmop olitism in art is apparent in Russia as elsewhere; but there are three or four names known to Western Europe which are accepted as peculiarly representative of the art of the great empire of the Tzars.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
