Description

One hundred and seven examples of books published during the first two decades of the Soviet period demonstrate the compositions and technical prowess that put Soviet designers, photographers, and graphic artists at the forefront of experimentation in graphic art. As opposed to children's books illustrated with drawing and painting, the genre of illustrated books published here is still relatively unstudied. It was a special field for Soviet education and propaganda, and these works show the ingenuity of the state in creating a mythology for the young and the talent of the artists who conveyed that mythology in the gradiose and idealized imagery of childhood in the new Soviet state. -- Summary written by John W. Emerich, Bronze Horseman Literary Agency.
