Digital Collections of Russian Art

[Bettina Jungen]

Dear Alexander,

The Mead Art Museum at Amherst College has an almost completely
digitized collection of Russian art
<http://museums.fivecolleges.edu/info.php?museum=ac&page=0&v=1&s=&type=e
xt&t=objects&f=&d=&culture=russian>
(http://museums.fivecolleges.edu/info.php?museum=ac&page=0&v=1&s=&type=e
xt&t=objects&f=&d=&culture=russian), including some 750 drawings,
prints, paintings, and sculptures mostly from the first half of the 20th
century, but also some earlier and later items. The spelling of the
names follows the Library of Congress without diacritics, but including
the apostrophe for the soft sign. In a search, however, the apostrophe
has to be replaced by a wildcard (i.e. %), since the system only
displays, but doesn't find names containing an apostrophe. The database
is in the process of being updated, revised, and corrected, therefore
changes might occur occasionally.

I'm sending this reply to the list, since I thought others might be
interested in the information, too.

Best wishes,
Bettina

Dear SEELANGers,
Can you recommend any digital collections of Russian art, especially
Modernist painting?
Best,
Alexander
