Park kul’tury i otdykha (Park of culture and relaxation)
Moscow: Ad Marginem, 2017. Sewn cl. The authors-illustrators of this wordless story of Moscow’s equivalent of New York’s Central Park were trained at VKhUTEIN (Vyshee khudozhestvenno-tekhnicheskii institut, Higher Artistic and Technical Institute), the art school in Moscow, and this work smacks of the artistic experiments of the time, which would soon be tabooed as “formalism.” Besides innovative Soviet styles, the author of the postscript, curator at the Russian State Library, identifies allusions to French graphic art of the early twentieth-century. First published in 1930. 20 p., 23 cm, color illus., Rus. Item #3404
