Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. Posters and photographs from the David King collection covering the years from the revolution 1918 to the death of Stalin 1953. Unique and handsomely reproduced. The text is limited to provide the necessary historical context, just the right length, with a bibliography and index. Not to be missed if you are interested in the political history of the Bolshevik revolution and the Stalinist era and its expression in the brilliant posters produced in that time (which did not save some artists, among them one of the most prominent, Gustav Klutsis, to be imprisoned and shot).

“Red Star Over Russia” is a mammoth collection of rare Soviet applied art and photographs, edited and designed by King, a British graphic designer and design historian who in the 1980s reintroduced Constructivist mannerisms into the contemporary design vocabulary, spawning a stylistic revival that continues in various forms to this day (e.g., Shepard Fairey’s recent advertising campaign for Saks Fifth Avenue). For three decades he has scrutinized and revealed the hidden treasures of this officially out-of-favor art. Auszeichnungen
Now in paperback, Red Star Over Russia is a breathtaking visual history, using posters, photographs, paintings, magazine covers, advertisements, and ephemera to illustrate the dramatic birth and eventual decline of the Soviet Union. The book plunges the reader into the shattering events that brought hope, chaos, heroism, and horror to the citizens of the world's first workers' state. The Russian Revolution produced some of the most important advances in art, photography, and graphic design in the 20th century. More than 550 of these widely influential materials are reproduced here, accompanied by David King's accessible text. King rescues from obscurity many lost heroes and villains through the work of the most brilliant Soviet artists, many of them anonymous or long forgotten. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
