The Unknown Artist

Veniamin Kaverin

4.9/5 (18575 ratings)

Description:In his second novel The Artist Unknown (1931), one of the last formal experiments in early Soviet literature, Kaverin addresses problems of culture in the Soviet Union of the late 1920s. In response to ideological arguments that were taking place in the Soviet creative circles in the late 1920s, Kaverin places his main characters within the Soviet context and uses visual art as an entry point into the debate. The novel revolves around a philosophical discussion between an engineer and a painter. Two conflicting views on social development are presented: one is focused solely on technological advancement, while the other is concerned with moral character of the Soviet people. In a modified form, this juxtaposition is a continuation of an old debate regarding western rationalism and eastern spirituality. In fact, conglomeration of ideas illustrates the state of ideological commotion in which the Soviet society found itself in at the late 1920s-early 1930s.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
