Nikolai Kul'bin. Evgeniiu Fedorovichu Kovtunu (1928–1996) posviashchaetsia (Nikolai Kul'bin. Dedicated to Evgenii Fedorovich Kovtun [1928–1996])

St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2018. Sewn cl. Kul'bin's drawings, paintings, poster art are difficult to categorizable — they are part of the creative explosion of the Russian avant-garde in the early twentieth century but seem to have no direct analogies. At times, he carries French impressionism to a new level, at others he anticipates Marc Rothko’s bands of color. In this exhibition catalogue the Russian Museum publishes Kul’bin’s works in all genres and points out the social aspect of the avant-garde: Kul'min expressed new ideas on art and literature in dialogue with contemporaries like David Burliuk, Viktor Shklovskii, Aleksandr Blok, Sergei Sudeikin, Olga Rozanova, and Vasilii Kamenskii. Short biographies of those Kul'bin worked with enhance the reference value of the book. 119 p., 22 x 24 cm, approx. 150 color and b/w illus., Rus. Item #2736
