Stories for Little Comrades: Revolutionary Artists and the Making of Early Soviet Children's Books by Steiner, Evgeny; Miller, Jane Ann (translated by)
No Edition
Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.: Univ of Washington Pr, 1999. No Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. Drawings. In the Soviet Union of the 1920s, the most prominent avant-garde artists were eager children's book illustrators. Reaching a mass audience of unformed, malleable young people appealed to their commitment to an art manifesto based on the creation of a new kind of person for the revolutionary age. At the same time, good pay and a low risk of censorship were practical attractions. Basing his work almost completely on primary sources - Russian picture books from the Russian State Library, private collections and publishers' archives - Evgeny Steiner tells his story in deft prose with a wry sense of humor. The solidness of his sources, the range of his interests, and the depth of his understanding of Russian life combine to make this an unusually perceptive book on a fascinating cultural issue that combines the visual arts, literature, and politics. Bound in cloth, 214 pages, including brief biographies of authors, notes, and an index, this book is well-illustrated in color and black and white artwork. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
