The Experiment/3KcnepMMeHT, 7 (2001), 265~73. THE "CONTEMPORARY ART" EXHIBITION (ST. PETERSBURG, 1903): FOUR REVIEWS1 "Contemporary Art''2 In St. Petersburg, on Bolshaia Morskaia, in fact right across from the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts, an interesting art enterprise has been organ­ ized w1der the title "Contemporary Art". A small group of artists - Alexandre Benois, Igor Grabar, Lev Bakst, Aleksandr Golovin, Konstantin Korovin, Evge­ nii Lanceray, Vladimir von Mekk, Konstantin Somov, and Prince Sergei Shcher~ batov, witil tile assistance of engineer S. F. Sovin -have set themselves the task of expanding the sphere of so-called applied art in Russia and of raising the level of our art industry. In its aspiration to bring art closer to life, this group, made up primarily of young artists, has decided not to limit itself to working without any clear system, but to pool its resources with tl10se of otl1er artists working in the field of applied art. "Contemporary Art" constitutes a center where every artist who has sometiling of his own to say and the desire to say it, can work in this arena witil complete independence and freedom. The principle goal of applied art is to develop tile artistic taste of society us­ ing objects of domestic use, and "Contemporary Art" is pursuing this goal on a v~ry large scale. Not confining itself to tile production of various artistic func­ tional objects, it has gone furtiler and begw1 with tl1eir actual nsage - ·mth rooms that are lived in. TI1e entire space of "Contemporary Art" comprises a se­ ries of rooms, each of which is entirely decorated and f.mushed by a single artist. Everything, from t..he walls, the color of the wall-paper or paint, tile ceilings, floors, stoves and lighting to the furniture and decorations - is harmoniously combined togetiler, everything is created according to t..he artist's inspiration. For the present, as a ftrst experinlent, a few of tilese rooms have been created: a din­ ing room, boudoir, sitting room, a dark anteroom, and a vestibule. In each one of these rooms one senses the expression of an artist who has chosen each cor­ ner, each chair, each window. Tban..~s to tl1e development of tile "new style" in ' 1. The Contemporary Art enterprise was established in St. Petersburg in 1903 by Prince Sergei Shchcrbatov and V1adimir fon Mekk, as a combination showroom, gallery, and promotional center for new ideas in the applied and decorative arts. Its inaugural effort combined a one-man exhibi­ tion of paintings by Konstantin Somov, a display of jewelry by Rene Lalique, and an "ideal home exhibition" comprising a series of rooms, each decorated by an individual artist. Unlike its Moscow . counterpart, the Exhibition of Architecture and Applied Art in the New Style (see the preceding section in this volume), Contemporary Art was plagued by charges of impracticality and dilettan­ tism, the teren;ok designed by Aleksandr Golovin attracting particular hostility. 'Ihe enterprise soon ran into financial difficulties and closed after litde more than a year of activity. The exhibition is fully illustrated in Mir isku.rstva, Nos. 5-6 (1903). 2. "Sovremcnnoe isk-usstvo,'' Nit){l, No. 7 (1903), pp. 135-38. 266 Experimem/JKcnepnMeHT the \Vest, where it has acquired a disti.."lctive, persistent pattern of its own, it is rather difficult in this field to get the public to appreciate a new word, since the public too has already established its own cliched vJew of the new style, the "style moderne". The word that was prodai.<ned several years ago and welcomed by the art world as a IICJJ/ word, as a qm:st fot new lines and combinations, a word conditional on new technical ~.nd structural conditions (the introduction of iron into building), attracted medi{Krities devoid of talent, wbo vulgarized it v;.rith their imitations. The word of the genuine artist, carried away by its own distinc· tive impulse and suffering, by virtue of its impetuous inspiration, from not being fully applicable to reality, was improved on and augmented by mediocre artist.s and ;u:chitects, and became the very s;u"ne kind of cliche as the previous forms rlw,t had grown bming and outlived their tin1e. The artists of "Contempotary Art," evidently sensing dlis, war1ted to have their O\Vn artistic say and to bring it before the tribunal of t.\e public that under­ stands and appreciates art. ... In sccurh"'1g the patticipation of Laligue in the exhibition, "Contemporary A1:t" bas m::1dc significant progress in attracting tt~at sector of the public which loves everything refined and truly artistic. Also attracting undoubted interest are tl1c arranged and furnished rooms. The org,mizers of "Conternporary i':.1t" intend ro offer the public sim.ila:r rooms arranged in their entirety and fully decorated. To L~is end special workshops will be organized that will produce an entire interior at a more or less affordable price. For the tirne being, as a f.trst at­ tempt, it will also be valuable if well-to-do people who purchase an expensive decor from simple ~tisans, are attracted to the beautiful simplicity and stylish­ ness of the rooms at "Contemporary Art" and will arrange their homes and decor.tte their rooms, if only by following this model. It's the first push that mat­ te~rs: the contribution of these artists will really be substantial if, after visiting these .rooms, the public begins to feel disgust for t.J,.eir home-grown "Empires" ~md realizes their blatant ugliness, for this is the next step towards chant-ing the objects in their daily life by follm,ving new models. At "Contemporaty 1'\.rt" one can purchase and order each item separately, even a single chair.... In ail fairness it should be said that a significant part of everything [in the ex­ hibition] was executed by simple craftsmen. Here lies the nucleus of the whole enterprise:s viability: it is feasible. It only remains for society, for whose devel­ opment all of this has been conceived, to respond to it \Vi.th appropriate sympa­ thy.

Mirrors in Russian Decadent and Symbolist Prose: Valery Briusov and Dmitry Merezhkovsky Abstract Examining mirror imagery in the prose works “In the Mirror” by Valery Briusov and The Resurrected Gods: Leonardo da Vinci by Dmitry Merezhkovsky, both published in 1902, this article situates the Russian Decadent and Symbolist associations of the mirror in the pan-European literary and philosophical context. The mirror constitutes the threshold of manifold oppositions, including life and art, life and death, and reality and dream or imagination. It is a realm of alternative reality, magical and seductive, as in Briusov’s story, or potentially both demonic and divine, as in Merezhkovsky’s novel.

  • A Peasant Girl in a Colourful Shawl Signed with Initials (Lower Left); Signed ‘Phmaliavin’ (Lower Right) Pencil and Coloured Crayons on Paper 35 X 25 Cm (13¾ X 9⅞ In)
    Philip Andreyevich Maliavin (Kazanki, Samara province 1869 - Nice, France 1940) A Peasant Girl in a Colourful Shawl signed with initials (lower left); signed ‘PhMaliavin’ (lower right) pencil and coloured crayons on paper 35 x 25 cm (13¾ x 9⅞ in) The outline of the sitter’s face in this exquisite work by Philip Andreyevich Maliavin is perfectly framed by the headscarf that sweeps around her head. Her features blend into the background, and her flowing scarf ripples out from her rounded face. Her gaze is serene and attentive, and we are immediately struck by her bright, intense eyes, which reveal a joyful and energetic soul. This is complemented by the sudden flares of colour and patterning of her scarf which seem to jump out, enlivening and electrifying her garment; the vibrancy and energy of which recall Maliavin’s famed collection of works celebrating the colourful life of peasant women from his hometown of Kazanki. On completing his studies at the Imperial Academy, St. Petersburg, Maliavin was assigned to study under the tutelage of Ilya Yefimovich Repin. Repin undoubtedly exerted a considerable influence on Maliavin’s development, and it was during this time that the artist created some of his best early paintings, displaying 125 Kensington Church Street, London W8 7LP United Kingdom www.sphinxfineart.com Telephone +44(0)20 7313 8040 Fax: +44 (0)20 7229 3259 VAT registration no 926342623 Registered in England no 06308827 a preference for portraits of peasants, a theme that would inspire him throughout his career.

Preoccupied with high quality art reproduction and graphic design, these journals were conceived and executed as art objects and examples of fine book craftsmanship, concerned with the physical form and appearance of the periodical as such. Their publication advanced Russian book art and stimulated the development of graphic design, giving it a status comparable to that of painting or sculpture.

  • John Cournos Among the Imagists: Prelude to Petrograd
    John Cournos Among the Imagists: Prelude to Petrograd Marilyn Schwinn Smith 1. Introduction On 2 February 1918, poet H. D. (1886-1961) wrote from London to her fellow American John Cournos (1881-1966) in response to the packet he had sent from revolutionary Petrograd: “I read the poems with great joy—the one to A.A. touched me deeply.”1 Neither the poem nor the identity of its addressee has appeared in either H. D. or Anglophone scholarship. Locating the poem and identifying its addressee has been the province of scholars in Russia. The poem “To A. A.” invites us to take a deeper look into the working relationship between Cournos and H. D. In doing so, the Anglophone reader comes to a broader understanding of John Cournos’s overlooked position of among the Anglo-American Imagists, of the role he played in bridging English-language and Russian literary relations, and of England’s wartime activity in Russia. From among his several vocations, John Cournos is remembered certainly not as a poet but as a translator. Born in what today is Ukraine, Cournos was fuent in Russian and began translating into English in 1908, when living in Philadelphia. In London at the time of the Great War, he worked for the British War Department, translating military cables from Russia at Marconi House. Cournos was then recruited to serve on the British government’s Anglo-Russian Commission in Petrograd. His ofcial duties involved writing articles for Russian periodicals designed to sustain public sentiment for remaining in the war. Arriving in Petrograd 14 October 1917, mere weeks before the Bolshevik coup, Cournos was subject to the dire conditions of a city stricken frst by the war and now by revolutionary disorder and violence.

The Mirror in Art: Vanitas, Veritas, and Vision Abstract Humankind’s venerable obsession with the mirror, traceable to the ancient myths of Medusa and Narcissus, is copiously attested in Western art, which historically relied on the mirror as both practical tool and polysemous trope. While the mirror’s reflective capacities encouraged its identification with the vaunted mimetic function of literature and film, its refractive quality enabled artists to explore and comment on perspective, in the process challenging the concept of art’s faithful representation of phenomena. My radically compressed and selective overview of the mirror’s significance in esternW iconography focuses primarily on visibility, gaze, and gender, dwelling on key moments and genres that most vividly illustrate the paradoxes of the mirror as both symbol and utilitarian object.

  • The Poetic Imagination of Vyacheslav Ivanov: a Russian Symbolist's Perception of Dante / Pamela Davidson
    CAMBRIDGE STUDIES IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE The poetic imagination of Vyacheslav Ivanov Vyacheslav Ivanov, poet, philosopher and critic, played a key role in the formation of early twentieth-century Russian literature as leader of the religious branch of the Symbolist movement, and his influence spread to Europe after his emigration to Italy in 1924. Pamela Davidson explores Ivanov's poetic method, relating his art to his central beliefs (in particular his interpretation of the ancient Greek religion of Dionysus and of the teachings of Vladimir Solovyov), and considering the ways in which he attempted to embody these ideas in his own life. She focuses on Ivanov's interpretation of Dante, and in so doing opens up new perspectives on the wider question of Russia's relation to the Western cultural tradition and Catholi- cism. Detailed analyses of Ivanov's pre-revolutionary poetry and of his translations from Dante form the basis of the second part of the study, and extensive use is made of unpublished archival materials from the Soviet Union and Italy.
