Reviews
This is a formalist review of the vast classicizing state building programs under Joseph Stalin from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. The authors, both architects and historians, can appreciate the vast and rich formal qualities of their subject apart from the political horror of which it was the official face. The compelling illustrations, both recent photographs and early photographs or drawings (as many projects were unrealized), convey the sense of scale, richness of materials, and presence that are the hallmarks of the style. The translated text reads smoothly and will serve general audiences very well. A welcome addition to the many titles on earlier, revolutionary constructivist arts in the historical Soviet Union.

Architecture of the Stalin Era
Seller: Mullen Books, ABAA, Marietta, PA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New in shrinkwrap. Navy blue boards, blue & color illustrated dust jacket with cream lettering. 192 pp. 160 BW and 40 color illustrations. "This collection of contemporary drawings, plans and paintings, together with modern photographs, will come as a shock to a Western audience familiar with the architectural achievements of the Constructivist period but still unacquainted with those of the 1930s through the 1940s. While the skyscrapers which tower over Moscow are the most obvious architectural legacy of Stalin's reign, the most interesting aspect for the contemporary reader. is the history of the enormous architectural competitions which proved such crucial tools in the propagandistic mass culture of the era. Most of the grandiose visions reproduced here remained unbuilt; yet even in the form of perspective views they convey the atmosphere of their time with great power." (dj). Seller Inventory # 172314
