Press Forlaget Propaganda! Russian And Norwegian Posters 1920-1939 Edition 2014 by Vigdis Moe Skarstein, Anton Likhomanov, Daniela Buchten, Text by Yelena Barkhatova
Propaganda! Russian and Norwegian Posters 1920-1939 brings together a broad selection of outstanding Russian poster art, from the Constructivists' formal experiments to the Socialist Realism of the 1930s. It also includes some of the most important Norwegian posters inspired by Soviet styles. Several scholars discuss the development of Russian and Norwegian political poster art during the interwar years, while brief introductions explain the historical background of each poster. Hardly any art form had a higher profile in Russia during the years after the 1917 Revolution than the poster. This impressively illustrated volume highlights the connections and influences across this whole remarkable branch of artistic creativity.
