Synopsis
The posters in this book, produced in Russia between 1924 and 1933 in the aftermath of the Bolshevik upheaval, exemplify a literal revolution in the graphic arts, a fundamental transformation of graphic design from a primarily illustrative medium to one increasingly abstract, constructed or collaged from a variety of sources. Vladimir and Georgii Stenberg, like their contemporaries Aleksandr Rodchenko and El Lissitzky, were artists of immensely varied interests and eclectic skills. Examples of their sculpture, stage and costume design are illustrated in this book, but the focus is an array of posters, designed for the burgeoning Russian film industry. To this work, the Stenbergs brought a compositional dynamism, originality and contrast of scale, employing many of the formal artistic conventions of the Constructivist movement. Biographical detail of the Stenbergs is included, as well as analysis of their significance in the development of the graphic arts in this century.

Publisher's description: "The Stenberg brothers, like their contemporaries Aleksandr Rodchenko and El Lissitzky, were artists of immensely varied interests and eclectic skills. They were sculptors, architects, and stage and costume designers, and were enamored of the film and montage theories developed in the suddenly burgeoning Soviet film industry. As seen in this book's superb colorplates, they brought to film poster design an extraordinary compositional dynamism, originality, and contrast of scale, employing many of the artistic conventions of the Constructivist movement to great effect."
