Oversized Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Viktor Koretsky (1909-1998) was a leading Soviet political poster artist and the acknowledged master of the Soviet photographic poster, whose long and prolific career spanned the early Stalin era through the onset of glasnost. The first comprehensive catalog of Koretskyâs work in any la…nguage, this ample and richly illustrated album provides an essential introduction to the major examples of Koretskyâs artistic output, including poster, original designs, and other political graphics. Each of the volumeâs two hundred full-color plates is accompanied by concise and clarifying commentary. Arranged chronologically, these works of political propaganda art brilliantly record the shifting political and artistic contexts of their distinctive eras of production â" the first Five-Year Plan, World War II, postwar Stalinism, Khrushchevâs Thaw, the Brezhnev era, and the twilight of Soviet authoritarian culture. Richly annotate with related primary source quotations. List of Illustrations, Bibliography. 240p.
