Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde

This book brings together 250 posters from the pre-Stalin Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.The unusual use of these perspective, close-ups and montage adds to the fascination of these compelling posters, most of which are published here for the first time. Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists, such as A Rodchenko, Y Ruklevsky, M Dlugach and others. Hardback. Vey good condition. Text in English, French, and German. Printed in Germany by Taschen GmbH in 1995.
