The modernists central to \u003ci\u003e\"Our Native Antiquity\"\u003c\/i\u003e located their antiquity in the Eurasian steppes, where they found objects and sites long denigrated as archaeological curiosities. The book follows the exemplary careers of two objects-the so-called \"Stone Women\" and the kurgan, or burial mound-and the attention paid to them by Russian and Soviet archaeologists, writers, artists, and filmmakers, for whom these artifacts served as resources for modernist art and letters and as arenas for a contest between vying conceptions of Russian art, culture, and history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920660381854,"sku":"ING-9781618116642","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781618116642.jpg?v=1782827228","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781618116642","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
