St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2020. Sewn cl. Talented artists who began working in the imperial period such as Boris Kustodiev and Ivan Bilibin together with artists of the avant-garde and early Soviet years like Aleksei Pakhomov, Dmitrii Bulanov, Alexander Deineka, Aleksei Radakov, Nikolai Kupreianov, Sergei Chekhonin, and Nikolai Remizov turned their hand to poster art, and this catalogue of an exhibition at the Russian Museum shows a range of styles all vivid and forceful. The pre-1917 posters got their impulse from book publishers; those that came after the revolution were impelled by state propaganda and the urgent need to educate the populace if the state were to modernize. 120 p., approx. 150 color illus., Rus.
