The Union of Youth: An Artists' Society of the Russian Avant-Garde. By Jeremy Howard. Manchester Univ Pr, 1992. Hardcover, 224 pages.

This book represents the first attempt to analyze the development of the St. Petersburg avant-garde between 1910 and 1914, with special reference to the art society, "The Union of Youth", born out of the short-lived art society "Triangle", led by the unorthodox figure of Dr Nikolai Kul'bin. For this reason, much attention is given to Kul'bin's aesthetics in the early part of the book. His pan-psychic ideas and their relation to the art of Triangle are introduced to demonstrate their place and transmission within the context of the local Russian avant-garde, and the Union of Youth in particular. (excerpt from editorial review, Amazon).

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).

Imagine No Possessions: The Socialist Objects of Russian Constructivism, by Christina Kiaer. The MIT Press; illustrated edition, 2008. Paperback, 344 pages. English.

"Imagine No Possessions is a fascinating analysis of the early Soviet socialist object as a uniquely compelling historical phenomenon, and as the key to a reevaluation of Russian Constructivism. In its recovery of the utopian desires motivating the design of the object-as-comrade, Kiaer's incisive yet accessible book is a stirring reminder that there are alternatives to present-day capitalist triumphalism." (Jonathan Flatley, Department of English, Wayne State University)

The Artist as Producer: Russian Constructivism in Revolution, by Maria Gough. TUniversity of California Press, 2005. Hardcover, 268 pages. English.

"The Artist as Producer confronts the problem of making a politics with art. Gough's balanced rigor in mining obscure archives on the one hand, while performing brilliant readings of recalcitrant artworks on the other gives her account of Constructivism's Utopian promise and less-than-Utopian outcome great texture. She has produced something very rare: an art-historical study that not only adds to our knowledge but captures the intense poignancy of modern art's serious ambition to undertake a revolution of--and with--form." (David Joselit, Professor, History of Art, Yale University)
