We are pleased to announce the Hong Kong publication of *The Icon: Truth and Fables*, a monograph by Irina Gorbunova‑Lomax—a professional art historian, iconographer, and icon painting teacher. The Hong Kong edition includes **translations of the book into English and Chinese. First published in Russia, the book offers a penetrating critique of the discourse on icons and icon painting as it developed within Russian émigré circles in Europe in the second half of the twentieth century.
Deconstructing the myths and “fables” that have grown up around icon painting—and addressing malpractice in its teaching—Gorbunova‑Lomax proposes ways out of the crisis in which icon painting today finds itself in many new icon‑painting workshops.
