A very good oversized softcover coatalog in stiff, printed wrappers: spine faintly creased a a bit of foxing early and late. Interior unmarked and clean. Out-of-print.
8.25 x 11.75 massive softcover catalogue with 580 pages and 667 illustrations (145 in color); capsule biographies and bibliographies by artist; and index. The catalogue of an exposition of the arts held in Paris and Moscow from May 31 - November 5, 1979.
The original much sought after Pompidou catalogue, with numerous articles surveying the development and synthesis of European Moden Art Movements, including Art, Architecture, Theatre-Dance, Photography, Cinema, Propaganda, as translated through the Paris-Moscow axis. A phenomenal production.
Articles by Jean Millier, Pontus Hultén, A. Khaltourine, V.M. Polevoi and others contain extensive information about French and Russian artists and writers, making this book an important source of information. Included are illustrated articles dealing with fine art, applied art including furniture, architecture, the propagana art of the Russian Revolution, poster art, theatre and ballet, literature, music, the cinema and photography. Frighteningly comprehensive.
