Susan Pack Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde

Produktbeskrivelse

At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist . This book brings together 250 posters from the Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period , before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine. Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists . From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images , often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
