Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde Susan Pack 1995 Russian film posters of the 20s and 30s bear unique witness to the artistic creativity of the former Soviet Union in the years before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine under Stalin. These posters are extraordinarily eloquent advertisements for contemporary films. 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 there fascination. -- Dust Jacket Blurb Illustrated with color plates and black-and-white photographs.
