*Vladimir Markov and Russian Primitivism:** A** Charter for the Avant-Garde*,
by Jeremy Howard, Irēna Bužinska and Z.S. Strother

 This volume introduces the Latvian artist and champion of artistic change
in early twentieth-century Russia, Voldemārs Matvejs (Vladimir Markov), as
a pioneering art photographer and assembles for the first time five of his
most important essays. This book challenges hardening narratives of
primitivism by re-examining the enthusiasm for world art in the early
modern period from the perspective of Russia rather than Western Europe.
The book will appeal to students of modernism, orientalism, ‘primitivism,’
historiography, African art, and the history of the photography of
sculpture.
