Between Heaven and Hell

The Story of as Thousand Years of Artistic Life in Russia

  • 3 Want to read

How did a country with such a tormented past bring such stunning works of art into being? To answer this question, W.

Bruce Lincoln explores ten centuries of artistic endeavor in a land uniquely suspended between East and West, past and future sacred and secular Surveying art in all its forms, Between Heaven and Hell tells the stories of Russia's greatest novelists, poets, painters, composers, dancers, architects, and filmmakers as they struggled to extract beauty from their nation's painful life, and shaped the masterpieces that the world now acclaims as purely and uniquely Russian.

Focusing on the artists in context, Between Heaven and Hell brings the triumph and tragedy of the Russian experience into full view. It vividly illustrates the workings of the creative process in a land in which politics and the arts have been closely intertwined. And it keenly describes the unique fashion in which Russian artists created their work through assimilating and transforming other cultural forms - giving birth to masterpieces unlike any others on earth.
