2002 book published by Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, edited by Alla Rosenfeld and Norton T. Dodge. The book is the first major survey of the development of modernist art in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania during the post World War II Soviet period. The contributors discuss and reappraise the art of Baltic artist working in modernist styles. They argue that Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian art did not develop in similar ways. Estonia, for example, had closer contact with Scandinavian countries, while Lithuania clearly was part of central Europe and was more influenced by Poland.

This book contains nearly three hundred illustrations--many in color--that serve to compare the art of the three Baltic deals countries. It also has three useful historical timelines that contextualize the art presented. In addition to historical overviews of each country, Art of the Baltics contains essays on the art of the region, written by both Baltic and American scholars.

The articles extensively cover art of the 1960's through the 1980's, reflecting the Zimmerli Art Museum's holdings of the Norton and Nancy Dodge collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union. To round out the scope of this work, contributors also discuss the pre-Soviet art of the region, as well as the creative developments resulting from the independence these countries gained in 1991.

In excellent preowned condition, was used in The Museum of Russian Art research library. Small tear on dustjacket.
