Plavinsky
Amazon.com - The haunting and
enigmatic paintings of Russian contemporary
artist, Dimitri Plavinsky are presented

graphic art, objects, and installations
from 1958 to 2000 are illustrated,
together with a series of insightful
essays that delve into the artist's
imagination. Plavinsky's themes span
the centuries, and are elaborate
meditations of time and space, from
the dawn of ancient primeval cultures
to the computer era of the twenty-first
century. |

Plus 10 : Contemporary Soviet and American Painters
Publishers Weekly - Introduction
by Gordon Dee Smith, E. A. Carmean
Jr., Marla Price and Graham W. J.
Beal, essays by John E. Bowlt and
Victor Misiano. Abrams, $39.95 *
ISBN 0-8109-1668-1 ~ Ten Soviet painters
and 10 American painters are shown
side by side in a path-breaking joint
exhibition soon to tour both countries.
This catalogue with fine color reproductions
is full of surprises from both sides.
Highlights of the Soviet works include
Vladimir Mironenko's challenging
Rorschach-like image ( Ours-Yours
) intended to bridge the Cold War
mindset, Leonid Purygin's primitivist
fantasies riddled with religious
and folk elements, Yurii Petrak's
sardonic meditations on Laika, the
Russian dog shot into space. Notable
American pictures range from April
Gornick's majestically simple landscapes
to Annette Lemieux's outrageous splicings
of words and images, and Rebecca
Purdum's luminous vortices of color
suggestive of energy fields or natural
processes of birth and decay. Both
Soviets and Americans display subversive
humor and a fierce willingness to
investigate reality through any means
available--figurative, mythic, topical,
conceptual.
