A COMPLETE SET OF THE RARE RUSSIAN EMIGRE LITERARY ART MAGAZINE IN ORIGINAL ISSUES, reportedly no more than 300 copies were printed. Supplemental summaries of the numbers were provided in the back in a variety of languages including English. Zhar-ptitsa was the most influential art journal of the flourishing community of exiles who were feverishly trying to keep the culture of Old Russia alive. Due to paper shortages and extensive censorship by the Bolsheviks back in the USSR, the Russian book business was booming in Germany and France. This lavish periodical was the natural successor to S. Diaghilev\’s Mir iskusstva since many of those involved had been members of the World of Art Group and designers for the Ballets Russes. The rich selection subjects and contributors under A. E. Kogan\’s art department embraced L. Bakst, A. Benois, I. Bilibin, M. Chagall, S. Chekhonin, N. Goncharova, B. Grigoriev, B. Kustodiev, M. Larionov, V. Shukaev, K. Somov, S. Sudeikin and many other important artists. Poet Sasha Cherny was literary editor; and such important writers as L. Andreev, K. Balmont, I. Bunin, V. Khodasevich, B. Pilnyak, A. Remizov, N. Teffi, A.N. Tolstoi, B. Zaitsev, and the young Vladimir Nabokov (as \”V. Sirin\”) appeared in its pages. Fekula called Zhar-ptitsa \”perhaps the most famous of post-revolutionary art journals, whose contributors threw new light on the development of Russian art at the beginning of the twentieth century.\” According to Vengerov, \”Even separate issues of the magazine, let alone complete sets of its issues, are a great bibliographic rarity.\” Fekula 5742; Vengerov Staraya russkaya kniga 105.
