SLAV 28300 /38300 - Russian Symbolism

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

From 1894 to 1913, Symbolism was the dominant artistic movement in Russia. Though it is most closely associated with the poetic works of Bal'mont, Gippius, Sologub, Annensky, and Blok (among others), it also found vivid expression in painting, performance, and even music. It was the first artistic school in Russia to receive full development as an aesthetic doctrine, especially at the hands of Briusov, Belyi, and Ivanov. Moreover, Russian Symbolism can hardly be understood without study of its Western and Eastern European precedents. We sample all the major authors, genres and media of Russian Symbolism and consider major scholarly approaches to arrive at a conceptualization of the movement as a whole. R. Bird. Winter.
