Taschen, August 2016. Hardcover . Very Good/Very Good. Back in the USSR: 250 film posters capture the cultural energy of the pre-Stalin eraAt the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the pre-Stalin Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists.

Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
