Most reportage in the West covers so-called \"dissidents\" rather than actual goings-on in this vast culture, taken as a whole. Too often, these reports seem primarily inspired by a desire to demonstrate Western cultural and political superiority. The aim of \u003ci\u003eRussian Art in the New Millennium\u003c\/i\u003e is not to support any one cause, but to look at the situation as it now exists objectively, and to give as wide and truthful a view as possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume covers digital art, landscape paintings, graffiti, religious art, and more, paying close attention to the continuing influence of the traditional centers for art--Moscow and St. Petersburg--while illuminating a number of provincial Russian cities that have developed distinctive art worlds of their own. \u003ci\u003eRussian Art in the New Millennium\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to discover this terra incognita while encompassing the widely varied but intensely national art scene in Russia in one volume.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdward Lucie-Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is an art critic, curator, and broadcaster.
