Materinstvo i detstvo v russkom plakate (Motherhood and Childhood in Russian Posters)
Moscow: Kontakt-kul'tura, 2006. sewn cl. After a few examples from the early twentieth century the compilers offer a broad sampling of graphic art from the 1920s through the 1980s in which the theme is to encourage healthy ways of upbringing. The works reveal social concerns of different periods and suggest the problems the regime sought to solve through mass art: in the 1920s and 1930s the themes are often grave: abandoned children, illiteracy, poor diet, ignorance of professional medical help; in the post-war period the subjects seem less urgent: physical fitness, attention to school work, respect for teachers, helping with household chores. 160 p., 9 ½ x 13 ins., 24.6 x 35.8 cm., 166 color plates, , Rus.
