The Soviet Photobook 1920-1941⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com ⁣ ⁣ A massive, full-illustrated history of photography bookmaking and design from the USSR. Gorgeously produced, edited and designed, The Soviet Photobook 1920-1941 presents 160 of the most stunning and elaborately produced photobooks of the Soviet period and includes more than 400 additional reference illustrations. The book also provides short biographies of the photobook contributors, some of whom are presented for the first time.⁣ ⁣ The Soviet Union was unique in its dynamic use of the illustrated book as a means of propaganda. Through the form of the book, the USSR articulated its utopian (and eventually totalitarian) ideologies and expressed its absolute power through avant-garde writing and radical graphic design that was in full flower during the 1920s and 1930s.⁣ ⁣ No other country or political system advanced its cause by attracting and employing acclaimed members of the avant-garde. Among them were writers such as Semion Kirsanov, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Ilya Selvinsky, Sergei Tretyakov and Kornely Zelinsky; artist designers such as Gustav Klutsis, Valentina Kulagina, El Lissitzky, Sergei Senkin, Varvara Stepanova, Solomon Telingater and Nikolai Troshin; and photographers such as Dmitry Debabov, Vladimir Griuntal, Boris Ignatovich, Alexander Khlebnikov, Yeleazar Langman, Alexander Rodchenko and Georgy Petrusov, not to mention many of the best printing plants and bookbinders.⁣ ⁣ #TheSovietPhotobook #Photobook #Steidl #BorisIgnatovich #DmitryDebabov #AlexanderKhlebnikov⁣ (at Moscow, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3USOQkH8wd/?igshid=15lzliaex5v86
