Synopsis
This massive book of Soviet propaganda posters, many rare and never before published, is at once a revealing historical document and a sublime example of graphic art at its best. Dating from 1917 to the beginning of the Cold War, the posters in this book feature the work of such major Russian ground-breaking avant-garde designers as El Lissitzky and Alexander Rodchenko as well as extraordinary works by anonymous artists. Presented in full color, the 250 posters gathered here range in themes from warnings about the dangers of alcohol abuse and the creeping Nazi menace to illustrations of utopian harmony and the Soviet industrial machine. A brief illustrated introduction offers a chronological overview of the period that produced such eloquent art, which has long been a major source of inspiration to artists and designers.

Review
'Grigorian's Collection offers a rare glimpse into a lost world.'Sunday Herald, May 2007'Totalitarianism never looked so good.'Gay Times, June 2007'These posters look completely at odds with most current graphic design, and it's this that makes them so refreshing to look at. There's nothing subtle about them ... but it's their directness that makes them so charming.'Grafik, July 2007' ... this compact monograph ... contains plenty to admire.'Wallpaper*, August 2007
