St. Petersburg: Evropeiskii univ, 2018. Sewn cl. The irony of the Soviet authorities' banning a book glorifying the Komsomol (Communist Youth League) because its preface was written by a disgraced revolutionary is pungent. The propaganda of the poem cloys but typifies the revolutionary period; it was written for publication in 1928 on the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Komsomol. The abiding interest is the format: Solomon Telingater used the devices of the avant-garde such as unconventional typography and photomontage, to design a unique work of book art. Contents: Constructivist Team: Typography, Cinema, Photomontage in a Forgotten Masterpiece of Solomon Telingater; Forbidden Bestseller or the Most Famous Poem of the 1920s: History of Its Publication, Banning and Oblivion; Lev Trotskii's Preface to "Komsomoliia"; Solomon Telingater's articles "New Soviet Book Design" and "Book Design in the 1920s, which engendered the art of the socialist book and determined my creative path."The volume of commentary reproduces many examples of books design of the 1920s, prominently of course those of Telingater. Facsimile: 52 p., 29 cm, sewn cl., Rus.; Commentary: 121 p. 29 cm, approx. 80 b/w illus., sewn pb., Rus. with summary in ENGLISH. Item #2638
