Quarto 29x23 cm., original stiff wrappers, 16 pp., 32 plates. Number 155 of 300 numbered copies on vellum (15 were issued on Holland). Borys Solomonovich Aronson (1898-1980) was a renowned scenic designer for Broadway and Yiddish theater in the United States. Less known about him was his important role in the development of the avant-garde from his beginning in Kiev, then Moscow and Berlin. He was an apprentice to Aleksandra Ekster who introduced him to Vsevelod Meyerhold and Aleksander Tairov. With those three he worked to develop Constructivist theater in the early Soviet era. Soon Aronson went to Berlin where he collaborated with El Lissitzky and Naum Gabo to introduce Constructivism to the West. He obtained an immigrant visa to the USA in 1923 and settled in New York where he designed sets and costumes for the experimental Yiddish theater. It is in this era that the present work places its focus, drawing on the continuity of Aronson's Suprematist and Constructivist origins to the date of writing.…

Description:
Large quarto 34.5x26 cm., original wrappers, 35pp. Art moderne cover design by Hryhory Borysevich Berkovich (1905-1972), Ukrainian artist who studied with Viktor Pal'mov and worked in Kharkiv. First Ukrainian edition of 1000 copies and only one with this cover. Stravinsky took three dances out of his 1911 ballet and produced three pieces for piano at the request of Arthur Rubenstein for concert performance. The score was printed in France in 1921. These are not merely transcriptions but independent works, which stand on their own. During the 1930s Soviet authorities took a dim view of Stravinsky's work, increasing suppression and it was banned altogether by the end of the decade and would remain so for over 20 years. No institutional holdings found in worldcat. A nicely preserved copy, with owner inscription on cover.

(A Tale about Red-haired Motel, the Honorable Inspector, Rabbi Isaiah, and Commissar Blokh) Iosif Utkin (1903-1944) joined the Bolsheviks in 1917 and discovered his poetic voice soon after while in the Workers' Squad during the civil war in Irkutsk. He rose in the ranks of the Komsomol as both poet and journalist, achieving prominence in his poetry appearing in Molodaia Gvardiia. His poem The Tale of the Redhaired Motel, Mr. Inspector, Rabbi Isaiah and Commissioner Blokh is his most well-known work which originally appeared in those pages. Prior to this he read it alongside Mayakovsky who championed him, to great acclaim. The poem was declared "nezauriadyi" and widely circulated in poetry circles and the intelligentsia. This publication is illustrated with a fine cover design, title and motifs by Adolf Strakhov (Strakhov-Braslavskii, 1896-1979), renowned for his graphic designs of iconic…
