An hommage to Alexander Tairov?s modernist Kamerny Theatre in Moscow, with fine drawings of set- and costume design and scenes after photographs from its first 20 years. Alexander Tairov (1885-1950) produced many modern non-russian plays by Berthold Brecht, Eugene O?Neill, Oscar Wilde and G. B. Shaw and he collaborated with many of the foremost avant-garde artists in cubism, constructivism etc. The gouverment closed down the theatre in 1949. Abraham Efros (1888-1954) from Moscow was a translator, poet, art historian, and critic. After 1917 he served on the commission for the protection of artistic and antique treasures in the Russian Soviet Republic, and on the boards of among other the Tretyakov Gallery and the GOSET (Moscow State Jewish Theater). In the Stalinist purges of the late 1930s, Efros was arrested and exiled, and in the late 1940s he was ousted from his academic posts. The former owner is probably the Swedish-Norwegian actor and painter Lauritz Falk (1909-90). Hardcover / Hardback.
