What did both Ivan Bilibin and Mir iskusstva contribute to?
Mir iskusstva Mir iskusstva (Russian: «Мир искусства» ; ] , "World of Art") was a Russian magazine and the artistic movement it inspired and embodied, which was a major influence on the Russians who helped revolutionize European art during the first decade of the 20th century. In fact, few Europeans outside Russia actually saw issues of the magazine itself.
Ivan Martynov Ivan Mikhailovich Martinov (7 October 1821, at Kazan, Russia – 26 April 1894, at Cannes, France), was a Russian Jesuit priest. After his conversion to Catholicism and consequent exile, he placed his vast knowledge of Slavic culture at the service of a better understanding between the Russian Orthodox and Catholic Churches.
