Petr Miturich
Moscow: Tri kvadrata, 2018. Sewn cl. Books written by relatives are sometimes less than authoritative — parti pris makes the author too favorable. Sergei Miturich's monograph on his grandfather is reliable because the purpose is to provide on the basis of family archives and other primary sources a factual framework for further study. The sheer number of rarely seen visual documents, many from private collections, will fill gaps in the history of the Russian avant-garde and the art of the first half of the twentieth century more generally. Besides his painting and graphic art, Petr Miturich helped shape the art of the period by teaching at the laboratory of the avant-garde VKhuTeMas (Vyshee khudozhestvennoe tekhnicheskoe masterskoe, Higher artistic and technical studios). Elegantly designed with many plates. 367 p., 30 cm, approx. 200 color illus., Rus. Item #2766
