| | | BaggageBy Samuil Marshak, Vladimir Lebedev. Afterword by Sarah Suzuki. During the 1920s, avant-garde Russian authors and artists worked with fervent dedication to create a new type of children’s literature, drawing on both the aesthetic innovations of the period and contemporary social and political philosophy to inspire and stimulate young minds. This whimsical children’s picture book is one of numerous remarkable collaborations between artist and illustrator Vladimir Lebedev and poet, translator and children’s writer Samuil Marshak, many of which are now in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York. This volume reproduces the original book in size, shape and layout, with new English translations in place of the Russian and an accompanying text by curator Sarah Suzuki. The dynamic graphic compositions and playful rhyming texts remain as compelling today as they were nearly a century ago.
Featured spread is reproduced from Baggage. | Cory Reynolds | Date: 12/23/2012 Featured image is reproduced from Baggage, The Museum of Modern Art's beautiful facsimile translation of the classic Russian children's book from the 1920s—a collaboration between the celebrated Soviet artist and illustrator Vladimir Lebedev and poet, translator and children’s writer Samuil Marshak. (The book was also featured in MoMA's blockbuster 2012 exhibition, Century of the Child, curated by Juliet Kinchin.) In her Afterword, MoMA curator Sarah Suzuki writes, "A modernist golden age for children's books, the 1920s saw some of Leningrad's most important artists and writers applying the tactics of the Russian avant-garde to this type of publishing. After the Revolution, both the new government and its art-world supporters made sweeping efforts to shape an ideologically new, modern Russian people, and they understood children's books as a crucial tool for molding young minds." continue to blog
