"The sense of estrangement felt by men during the nineteenth century has been called
many things - a crisis in masculinity, the mal de siècle, even a psychological disorder
known as neurasthenia - but as a phenomenon, such masculine discontent has gone largely
unexplored outside of the western European and American contexts. In this ground-breaking
new investigation, Allison Leigh explores how Russian painters sought to depict the
new psychological struggles associated with modernity and the implications such visual
manifestations of anxiety had for masculinity at the time. Drawing on a wide variety
of source material, including previously untranslated letters, journals, and contemporary
criticism, Leigh investigates how men's lives changed as they experienced the cultural
upheavals of the nineteenth century. In so doing, she introduces readers to Russian
artists such as Pavel Fedotov, Karl Briullov, Il'ia Repin, and Ivan Kramskoi, all
of whom produced masterpieces of realist art in dialogue with paintings made in European
artistic centers at the time. The result is a more culturally discursive account of
art-making in the nineteenth century, one that challenges some of the enduring myths
of masculinity and provides a fresh interpretive history of what constitutes modernism
in the history of art"
