Soviet Posters: The Sergo Grigorian Collection, by Maria Lafont. Prestel Publishing, 2007. Paperback, 285 pages. English.

"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.

Defining Russian Graphic Arts: From Diaghilev to Stalin, 1898-1934, by Alla Rosenfeld (Editor). Rutgers University Press; illustrated edition edition, 1999. Hardcover, 240 pages. English.

Defining Russian Graphic Arts explores the energy and innovation of Russian graphic arts during the period which began with the explosion of artistic creativity initiated by Serge Diaghilev at the end of the nineteenth century and which ended in the mid-1930s with Stalin's devastating control over the arts. This beautifully illustrated book represents the development of Russian graphic arts as a continuum during these forty years, and places Suprematism and Constructivism in the context of the other major, but lesser-known, manifestations of early twentieth-century Russian art. About 100 works borrowed from the National Library of Russia and the Research Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia-many seen here for the first time outside of Russia-are featured in this book. Additional works have been drawn from the Zimmerli Art Museum, The New York Public Library, and from other public and private collections. Together they provide a rare opportunity to view and learn about a wide variety of artists, from the acclaimed to the lesser known. (Amazon editorial review).
