Soviet Impressionism by Vern Grosvenor Swanson “Because of a unique set of circumstances, which would be impossible to duplicate, Soviet art from 1930 to 1980 was the twentieth century's major realist school of painting. It powerfully expresses itself with a simple clarity of pictorial language, consummate adeptness and truthful portrayal of life. The Soviet artist acted as a willing collaborator with and portrayer of the aspirations of society.”

Includes bibliographical information on many painters of the Soviet period, charts, historical analysis and sociological background of the Soviet art.
