These designs, from the collection of Merrill C. Berman, challenge assumptions of a monolithic Soviet poster style, conveying the impressive range of graphic design as it responded to a rapidly evolving political situation. Providing historical context and focusing on images of labor, industrialization, and technology, Building the Collective demonstrates how the ideological imperative of imagining a new collective society existed in a fertile and sometimes contradictory relationship with the artists' efforts to redefine their role in post-revolutionary Russia.Building the Collective showcases over 100 posters and other graphic works, representing the talents of a wide variety of artists, from the acclaimed to the anonymous. Color reproductions of works by Gustav Klutsis, Aleksandr Rodchenko, El Lissitzky, and the Stenberg brothers - as well as those of lesser-know but important designers such as Aleksandr Deineka, Viktor Deni, and Elena Semenova - are shown alongside posters created by \"brigades\" of designers who worked collectively and anonymously in the spirit of the times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51326838079776,"sku":"NEW1568980744","price":112.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81h3-65EnDL.jpg?v=1773162338","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/building-the-collective-soviet-graphic-design-1917-1937-1568980744","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
