At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -An der Schnittstelle von Malerei, Grafikdesign und Film angesiedelt, geben Filmplakate auf einmalige und aufregende Art den kulturellen Zeitgeist wieder. In diesem Buch wurden 250 Plakate der prästalinistischen Sowjetunion der 1920er- und frühen 1930er-Jahre zusammengetragen, um zu erkunden, welche Energie und Erfindungsgabe in dieser Zeit herrschte, bevor der Sozialistische Realismus zur offiziellen Kunstdoktrin wurde. Die Auswahl mit Arbeiten von 27 verschiedenen Künstlern stammt aus der Privatsammlung der Expertin Susan Pack. Einige Entwürfe setzten auf architektonische Elemente, andere wählten gewagte Layouts. Jeder Künstler hatte einen eigenen Stil, doch allen gemeinsam war das Bestreben, Hollywoodglamour durch stärkere, dynamischere, herausforderndere Bilder zu ersetzen, die oft von ungewöhnlichen Blickwinkeln und verstörenden Nahaufnahmen geprägt sind. 320 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.
