Re: Reading on Icons

Happy to share, David.  Here are a few options taken from my Survey of
Russian Art syllabus.  They're mostly focused on Russian icons, although
the Evseyeva text (the third in the list) includes a nice introductory
chapter that gives an overview of icons in general.


   - Cormack, Robin, “The Icon:  Past, Present, and Future.” P. 321-328 in
   Grierson, Roderick, ed.  *Gates of Mystery:  The Art of Holy Russia*.
