Light soil to rear wrappers; two leaves with illustrations detached from staples; still about very good. Catalog of the third Soviet traveling exhibition, organized by the short-lived cooperative "Khudozhnik" (Artist) and the art section (Glaviskusstvo) of the People's Commissariat for Education (Narkompros). The exhibition aimed to capture the "ongoing process of reorientation of the visual arts to the service of the building of Socialism" by presenting over 160 works by acknowledged masters, including posters by Aleksandr Deyneka and Gustav Klutsis, paintings by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and graphic works by Mikhail Kupriianov, Alexander Osmerkin, and Vladimir Favorski, among others. Most of the works on exhibit depicted the rapid industrialization of the five-year plan, with some of the artists sent to construction sites prior to the exhibition to capture the process. Whereas the first exhibition (1929) had largely restricted itself to the Moscow Region (towns such as Riazan', Iaroslav', and Tver'), the second exhibition traveled as far as Kazan', Ufa, Sverdlovsk and other towns of the Ural region, and the third exhibition was even more broadly exhibited in order to promote the first five-year plan (1928-1932), traveling across the capitals of the republics and the provinces, from Omsk and Novosibirsk to Tashkent, Samarkand, and Minsk.

The introduction by the artist and art-critic Nikolai Maslenikov (1895-1950) discusses the ongoing splintering and infighting within the various artistic organizations of the time such as AKhR, VOPR, OST, MAKhD. A proponent of realism in art, Maslenikov was himself deeply engaged in this process, serving as the co-founder of OMKh (Society of Moscow Artists) in 1928. Along with all other remaining artistic organizations, OMKh was liquidated in 1932, and subsumed under the centralized Soviet Artists' Union. Constructivist-inspired wrappers by an unidentified artist introduce the exhibition, even as the presented works signal the birth of Socialist Realism.
