Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde

[minor bumping to several corners, no other significant wear; the jacket shows only light handling wear, essentially invisible inside new mylar jacket cover (supplied)]. (B&W photographs, color reproductions) Large coffee-table book with gorgeous color reproductions (many full-page) of 250 Russian film posters of the 1920s and 1930s, all drawn from the author's private collection. "The graphic artists of the Russian avant-garde eschewed the glamour of the Hollywood image. Elements such as close-ups and unusual angles lend these posters a powerful dynamism as compelling as the films themselves. This publication presents a sweeping survey of these profoundly imaginative works which, even today, have lost none of their fascination." Text in English, German and French. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
