Since 1989 Panorama of Russia has specialized in academic and reference publications from the Russian Federation and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
How do texts about art live in the reader`s mind? Who is the person texts about the arts are addressed to? How do the arts live in texts about them? How can the plastic arts be reflected and interpreted in words? Mikhail Allenov, author of several books about Russian visual arts of the 18th-20th centuries, addresses these questions in this collection of essays. These texts were written in 1987-1992, and are published for the first time. Contents: Systematic absurdism viewed through emblems in the Moscow Subway, or the Absurd as the moment of truth; Structure and functions of the concept "socialist realism"; Portraits of artists in A. Blok`s speech "In Memoriam Vrubel"; Architecture in Mandel`shtam`s poem "Kamen"; The Admiralty of Zakharov in "The Admiralty" by Mandel`shtam; Pashkov Dom in Moscow; "Kvartirnyi Vopros" in M. Bulgakov`s novel "Master i Margarita.”
