Revolution: Russian Art 1917–1932

Published to accompany the blockbuster exhibition currently on view at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, this superbly made catalog is a must-have for anyone interested in art, history, revolution, the avant-garde or plain old Russia. "Incorporating painting, sculpture, architecture, filmmaking, ceramics and popular ephemera, it offers a highly informative, brilliantly comprehensive, and cautionary case study of how art and politics can interact in an age of increasingly authoritarian rule," in the words of Wall Street Journal art writer Mary Tompkins Lewis. Featured spread contains a detail of Gregory Petrusov's "Caricature of Alexander Rodchenko" (c. 1933-4), gelatin silver print, Alex Lachmann Collection, London.
