Приятнейшая тень (L)

A fascinating story about a rare phenomenon of art in our time - the silhouette - has absorbed the entire history of this genre in Russia, starting from the eighteenth century. Perhaps, everyone who gets acquainted with this book will be able to consider himself an expert, and if desired, the creator of the silhouette. The final chapters from Erich Hollerbach's book City of Muses (Leningrad, 1930), illustrated with silhouettes of the author himself, will give the reader a particularly keen sense of the art of the "pleasant shade".
