A member of the ‘Wanderers’ –who rejected the Academy style and sought modern subjects, often with gritty social engagement –his most famous image is Vladimirka Road , an evocative depiction (almost devoid of figures) of the route to Siberia taken by countless prisoners. Levitan is little known in the West and this is the only survey in English, now in a third, revised edition. Averil King’s extensively researched text covers the cultural background and is enhanced by excellent illustrations. AA BOOK reviews
