<br/><br/> With reproductions of over 700 works of art representing a dramatic expansion in the study of Russian and Soviet Modernism, this commemoration-on-a-grand-scale goes well beyond a mere rehashing of the Suprematist wedges and squares painted by Kazimir Malevich. Leaving no art historical stone unturned, this book demonstrates how thoroughly this aesthetic revolution placed all varieties of artistic expression in the service of social goals. Among the many fascinating examples here are the manifestations of the era's Constructivist/Suprematist sensibilities within more proletarian media such as costume, book, porcelain, and textile design. Groupings of excellent reproductions separate the scholarly and theoretical essays.
