Russian Folk Motifs (Dover Pictorial Archive)

Finally found the delivery. Looks great

Needleworkers and folk art painters would both enjoy this addition to their library. It is not a flashy or gorgeous book but it is a very useful source of ideas.

Cover makes it look more appealing than it is. There are so many better art resources out there. For the price, I guess it's not a bad deal... but I've had it a few months and have yet to use it...

I was really disappointed by this book. It was more like a children's colouring book than anything else. The drawings were quite average and useless.

great little book. I use it for inspiration when I paint ceramics. all photos are in black and white though but it does the job.

Arrived on time. As described.

This book is nice when you love Russian motifs. A lot of paintings are childisch but real. I will use it, but my acspectations are not satisfite.

This book is a typical Dover survey -- page after page of only lightly documented images, line-drawings of items, but no actually pictures of the items cited. As a historical costumer specializing in Keivan Rus' (SCA), I found this book only moderately useful, such as a jumping-off point or idea-prompter. I'm sure this book would be more useful for folk artists and crafters.

le livre présente des motifs de la tradition populaires russesils sont très variés mais la qualité de la graphie est limite bonne

Not sure what I was expecting, badly drawn and cheap paper. This is a very disappointing book and not worth the money or wait.

I was very disappointed with this book, the best images are the ones on the front cover!
